MobileMark

What is MobileMark?

MobileMark is an application-based benchmark (product, service, and business practice sitcom process) that reflects patterns of business user usage in the areas of office productivity, media creation, and media consumption. Unlike benchmarks that measure only battery life, MobileMark 2012 measures battery life and performance while showing how well a system design addresses the inherent compromises between performance and power management.

MobileMark features:

Support for Windows 8 Application-based comparison: Reflects patterns of use of business users in the areas of office productivity and media creation, with 15 original real-world and 64-bit versions (where available) of applications such as Microsoft® Office 2010. Unlike synthetic benchmarks, application benchmarking does not artificially drive components to peak capacity or attempt to deduce performance by using a static simulation of application behavior.

Battery life and performance: MobileMark spans battery life and performance simultaneously.

Wireless connectivity: The Office Productivity scenario sends traffic through the systems Wi-Fi adapter.

''Screen brightness'':

Display brightness higher than the previous MobileMark, as well as support for screen dimming during periods of user inactivity.

Easy-to-use assessment tool: Provides it business and government decision makers, retailers, media, channel buyers, consultants, component designers, hardware designers and manufacturers with an objective and easy-to-use tool to assess qualified notebook battery life across a wide range of activities.

New Workloads: Updated user workloads and datasets to more closely reflect users' expectations about battery life.

Simplified Configuration and Execution:

Built-in features, such as the system configuration tool, and heads-up display, make setting the test and monitoring your status easier than ever.

Improved Report : Full PDF format disclosure (FDR) reports, which are exportable and easy to read, include battery health and charge level planning.

Collaborative development:

BAPCo benchmarks are the result of cooperative development between companies that represent the breadth of the it sector.

MobileMark 2012 v1.5 installs and/or uses the following applications: – SO: Windows 7 or Windows 8, 64-bit; – CPU: dual core processor of 1.3GHz or higher; – RAM: 3 GB system RAM; – Free space: at least 30 gb of free space on the primary storage device; – Graphics: graphic adapter compatible with DirectX 9; – Resolution: display resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher; – Optional Blu-ray player: required only for Blu-ray playback scenario.

Wireless router: (required for Office Creativity and Media Creation and Consumption scenarios) BAPCo has tested and recommends the following wireless router models for use when running office productivity or media creation and consumption scenarios:

– Netgear N900 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router (WNDRD4500); – Linksys E3200 High performance wireless dual band simultaneous symmetric router.
