MobileMark® 2014, the latest version of the premier performance-qualified battery life metric based on real world applications was released today by the Business Application Performance Corporation (BAPCo®), a non-profit consortium of leading PC hardware, software and semiconductor manufacturers.



MobileMark 2014 extends the MobileMark family, alongside SYSmark® & TabletMark®, which have been widely accepted by IT Managers, PC OEMs, press and analysts worldwide. It provides commercial and government IT decision makers, media, analysts, retailers, channel buyers, system integrators, hardware and software developers an objective, easy-to-use tool to evaluate the performance-qualified battery life of notebook PCs across the wide range of activities that a user may encounter.



The new release of MobileMark has a lightning fast installation with a 30% reduced footprint from included USB media installs in just 50%* of the time of its predecessor. MobileMark 2014 boasts new and updated applications, reflecting the latest usage patterns of business users in the areas of office productivity and media creation & consumption. Unlike benchmarks that only measure battery life, MobileMark measures battery life and performance simultaneously, showing how well a system design addresses the inherent tradeoffs between performance and power management.



MobileMark 2014 is the fittest release with its revised main GUI interface and 3rd generation auto-configuration tool. The updated configuration tool executes automatically as part of the benchmark run, dramatically reducing occurrence of setup related errors, and helping to ensure consistent, repeatable results. MobileMark 2014 also supports connected standby. Reporting is enhanced with improved Full Disclosure Report (FDR) formatting that emphasizes scoring and reference machine comparisons. As with SYSmark 2014, a new unified 32 & 64-bit codebase exists for both OS environments.



More focused than ever, MobileMark 2014 reflects usage patterns of business users in the areas of office productivity and media creation. It is a ground-up development and features the latest and most popular applications from each of their respective fields. Lower minimum system requirements ensure that MobileMark 2014 runs on broader categories of notebook PC systems.





Flexible licensing options are now available for small business to enterprise organizations running 32 or 64-bit versions of Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. Qualified government agency members may receive discounted or complimentary software through the BAPCo Government Network.
