Energieeffizienz in Windows 7

Im Engineering Windows 7 schreibt Dean DeWhitt aus dem Kernel-Team einen sehr lesenswerten Artikel über Windows 7 Energy Efficiency. Er erwähnt dabei ganz nebenbei eine neue Funktion in Windows 7: powercfg.exe /energy.

Ich habe diese Funktion gleich mal auf meinem Laptop ausprobiert. Hier die Ausgabe des Befehls:

Errors

CPU Utilization:Processor utilization is high

The average processor utilization during the trace was high. The system will consume less power when the average processor utilization is very low. Review processor utilization for individual processes to determine which applications and services contribute the most to total processor utilization.

Average Utilization (%) 4.34

Information

Platform Timer Resolution:Platform Timer Resolution

The default platform timer resolution is 15.6ms (15625000ns) and should be used whenever the system is idle. If the timer resolution is increased, processor power management technologies may not be effective. The timer resolution may be increased due to multimedia playback or graphical animations.

Current Timer Resolution (100ns units) 156000

 

Power Policy:Active Power Plan

Power Policy:Power Plan Personality (On Battery)

The personality of the current power plan when the system is on battery power.

Personality Balanced

 

Power Policy:Video Quality (On Battery)

Enables Windows Media Player to optimize for quality or power savings when playing video.

Quality Mode Balance Video Quality and Power Savings

 

Power Policy:Power Plan Personality (Plugged In)

The personality of the current power plan when the system is plugged in.

Personality Balanced

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States

Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.

S1 Sleep Supported false
S2 Sleep Supported false
S3 Sleep Supported true
S4 Sleep Supported true

 

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Adaptive Display Brightness is supported.

This computer enables Windows to automatically control the brightness of the integrated display.
