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:

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

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.
