Power/performance targets

  • Article

The requirements for each system are dictated by the target market, workload, and form factor. OEMs should do their own modeling of their devices to determine the best power and performance targets.

Microsoft recommends the following performance goals:

  • 1 second to resume from Standby.
  • Software DRIPS achieved >= 80%
  • Divergence between Software and Hardware DRIPS <= 10%

Note

In Windows 10 version 2004, Microsoft will not be enforcing the Modern Standby HLK requirement for 1 second recovery time ("instant on") if the device contains a Discrete GPU (dGPU).

Note

A device with rotational hard disk drive (HDD) as its primary boot drive is excused from exit latency requirement.
