our HTPC the throttling has no impact on the sensors. They continue to rise steadily during the stress tests. We even had to be careful that our test CPU did not die from overheating. After one hour spent on the edge of our seats, we stopped the CPU stress...

to minimum packet size for PING traffic), it’s still a remarkable difference. CPU Utilization As we were running our game tests on both machines, we also kept an eye on CPU utilizations as reported in Windows Task Manager. In both of our test programs, we...

Next we measured battery life while playing a DVD with the preinstalled WinDVD software. We used the BatteryMon tool for monitoring. We kept all other settings the same. Last, we used Prime95 to stress the CPU and measure battery life using BatteryMon again....

that when notebooks are used for gaming, it's not only the graphics subsystem that takes a hit. For some games, the CPU also gets hammered, too. That's why we set up this scenario to run the 3D Mark 2005 benchmarks continuously, so as to stress the CPU and...
