This saves power by reducing memory bandwidth and improves the quality of film playback by reducing video judder caused by the conversion of the film frame rate (24 Hz, for example) on displays running at 60 Hz. It is also able to run the display at lower refresh rates during full screen playback of film based content. This significantly reduces memory bandwidth required for video processing and compositing at the display.ĬPU management in the Windows 10 media stack keeps the CPU running in the lowest power states possible, without compromising UI responsiveness. For rendering, Microsoft Edge also works with Multiplane overlay display hardware and sophisticated graphics and UI compositing features to offload video rendering operations. This starts with the use of Microsoft DirectX video acceleration (DXVA) to offload decoding of compressed video. It does this by offloading CPU intensive video processing operations to power efficient peripheral hardware found in modern PCs and mobile devices. Microsoft Edge has the most power efficient video playback because it was engineered to take advantage of Windows 10 platform features that keep the CPU in low power states during video playback. Today, we are publishing details on the test methodology that was used and in this post, we’ll dig into the technologies that make Microsoft Edge so much more efficient. Our results have shown that Microsoft Edge outlasts the rest, delivering 17%-70% more battery life than the competition. This time-lapse video test shows Microsoft Edge lasting three hours longer than Google Chrome streaming the same content side by side on identical Surface Book machines.
So go ahead, binge watch your favorite shows on Microsoft Edge! Most Power Efficient Video PlaybackĪs we recently blogged, you get more out of your battery with Microsoft Edge.
Microsoft Edge has been engineered to optimize for and take advantage of these Windows 10 built-in media capabilities, providing the best video experience of any browser on Windows 10 based on our data and testing.
From video hardware acceleration to PlayReady Content Protection and the Protected Media Path, Windows 10 is designed to provide the highest quality, most secure, and most power-efficient video playback available on any version of Windows. When it comes to video, the closer to the hardware, the better.
