Science and Information / 'Power Throttling' feature in latest Windows 10
« on: April 20, 2017, 11:13:33 AM »
Its a good news for all of us that Microsoft has announced a new feature that is claimed to increase the battery life on Windows 10 devices. Dubbed 'Power Throttling', the feature has been included in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview build 16176. The company says that 'Power Throttling' makes a Windows 10 computer's CPU switch to energy-efficient operating mode automatically, thus reducing overall power consumption.
"You may remember some of our January power experiments we mentioned in Build 15002's release notes. Power Throttling was one of those experiments, and showed up to 11% savings in CPU power consumption for some of the most strenuous use cases," said Bill Karagounis, director of program management, Windows Insider Program & OS Fundamentals, Microsoft.
The company has clarified that 'Power Throttling' is only limited to devices with Intel's 6th-gen (and beyond) Core processors for now. Microsoft is working on expanding support to other processors over the next few months.
