ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a method for testing the power consumption of a CPU. This method involves recording energy output data from a controllable energy input through a CPU emulator. These data is used for assessing the power transferring efficiency. The CPU emulator is then replaced with a CPU, and then a program is run such that the CPU will maximize energy consumption. The energy consumption data is recorded and analyzed with regards to the power transferring efficiency estimating the power consumption of the CPU.
