When you’re working on the go, an outlet
isn’t always an option. We ran SYSmark®
25 and CrossMark™
benchmarks on both
laptops—first while they were plugged in
and again when they were unplugged.

SYSmark 25 benchmark test results show that business users could experience a 34 percent
performance drop while working unplugged on the AMD Ryzen™
5 processor-powered EliteBook.
This was not an anomaly. The CrossMark performance numbers for the AMD Ryzen 5
processor-powered EliteBook also dropped by 20 percent during unplugged testing.
By comparison, the Dell Latitude 5420 laptop, with its Intel®
Core™
i5 vPro®
processor, performed comparably whether it was plugged in or not.
