Windows performance claims

At Microsoft, we believe that trust is built on transparency, and excellence is driven by accuracy. To support that goal, Microsoft publishes information about Windows device performance based on testing conducted by Microsoft or commissioned from external third parties. By providing a centralized source for information about performance testing, we aim to provide our partners and customers with transparency and build trust in our performance claims. Our mission is clear:

  • Deliver accuracy in performance claims through a transparent methodology.
  • Empower our ecosystem — OEMs, silicon partners, retailers, and commercial partners — to highlight the power of Windows 11 PCs with confidence.
  • Strengthen trust in the Windows brand by ensuring performance claims are backed by meticulous testing and clear, substantiated data.

As technology evolves, so will our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and innovation. We will continue updating and expanding this resource and providing the latest performance insights.

Note

The performance results and other information provided in this article are for informational purposes only. They should not be reproduced, distributed, or utilized without prior authorization.

Microsoft publishes supporting information for selected performance claims, including the applicable testing source, devices, benchmarks, and testing period. Benchmark results represent performance under specific conditions and shouldn't be viewed as definitive across all scenarios. Actual performance might vary depending on the selected benchmark or workload, device configuration, usage patterns, environment, and other factors. Also, the results reflect testing conducted as of the dates indicated and might not account for subsequent updates. For a comprehensive evaluation, consult additional sources, including performance information provided by the original equipment manufacturer for the specific configuration you're considering.

Not every performance or power claim made across the Windows ecosystem is tested or published in this resource. If you're looking for data supporting a specific claim that's not available in this article, refer to the original product documentation or marketing material where the claim was made. This article is an evolving resource, and we're committed to expanding our coverage and deepening our insights as new technologies and devices emerge.
