Every technological entity looks for new means and ways of improving the quality of services they give. With each step aimed at further improvement, better ideas develop and better objectives are achieved at the very end. With specific strategies and targets in mind, technological entities aim at ensuring that the functions to be done and the steps to followed are smoothly executed, determined and timelines are strictly adhered to. With the right schedules, then the launch and the deliverables are often a success. Similarly, Microsoft has been working on different technological advancements aimed at improving their technology.
Battery Saving Technologies
Battery life is one of the challenges that users face on a daily basis. This refers to the period that a battery charge in any of your Microsoft or other technological devices take to be depleted. Battery saving technology is aimed at improving battery life indicating that your battery life will be longer and therefore, you can use your machine, phone or other device for a longer period of time. Microsoft has taken the lead in generating such a technology. The battery saving technology was designed for the latest Microsoft windows version 10 Redstone 3. It is currently being tested and tried on different Microsoft devices that utilize or run on Intel generation 6 processes and other core processors above generation 6.
Power Throttling
This is the new feature that is expected to grace the Redstone 3 second test builds in its windows 10. It is the newest battery saving feature in its devices that extends the general battery life giving you more time to use your device and complete your work if engaged in any. At the beginning, it was designed for power and battery life management but ended up a battery saving feature offering the same but more advanced advantages. Just the other day namely April 14, Microsoft launched and released the Redstone three test build the second one in its series. It also said that the new battery saving feature is to be one of the greatest and newest features in the series making it unique and a must have.
How Power Throttling works?
The battery saving feature is designed to ensure that device power or charge is efficiently and effectively used. It is said to utilize silicon capabilities in order to smoothen the running of different background applications in a way that preserves and saves power. In fact, it ensures that such background applications run on minimal power cutting down their general power consumption. The feature is currently under use by other PC testers and can be found in different media previews including the Insider Preview namely the fast ring 16176 PC testers. The battery saving feature or Power Throttling is a feature that you need and require in your device.
Progress Made Since January
Microsoft unveiled its intention in creating a battery saving feature in January of this year. They did it while when testing the update created on windows 10 in one of their build phases i.e. 15002. They have progressively examined, experimented and reviewed the Power Throttling feature on a continuous string. The feature has also been tested by external individuals who have agreed with the conclusion that Power Throttling can save around 11% of the total battery life in a device. However, Microsoft didn’t stop there but continued to test the feature some more and ensure smoothness in its functionality. You can now enjoy the final products with a full battery saving element aimed at boosting your device’s battery life.
Compatibility in Using the Power Throttling Feature
The feature is designed to help save battery life that is normally diminished by processors and applications running on a device. With that, the Power Throttling feature is currently compatible with the 6th generation Intel processors that tend to use the speed shift type of technology, other core processors that go beyond the 6th generation such as Kaby Lake and Sky Lake processors. It is Microsoft’s objectives to further improve the feature for it to be able to work with other advanced processors in the near future as a form of progress on the technology.
Future
Currently, the Power Throttling feature is designed for use and to work with applications that are out the box. This is as defined and stated by Microsoft officials which does not limit the possibilities in which the feature can be used. In the future, other developers may use it and tune it to different program interfaces provided by the parent company Microsoft in a way to help build a future feature or to test build the current feature.

Conclusion
The Power Throttling Microsoft feature is one that is making heads turn and technological companies go into a frenzy. With its abilities, you are assured of more enjoyment and better usage of your devices. In addition, it is compatible with many different processors ensuring that it can reach as many individuals as possible. In the near future, may a more advanced form of the feature will be released by Microsoft offering a longer battery life that its current 11%. We are looking forward to that and other developments that may follow.
