Benchmarks

The PowerPoint test models common tasks when working with presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Implementation

The PowerPoint test builds upon PCMark 8 Microsoft PowerPoint test.

Workloads

The PowerPoint test simulates working with Microsoft PowerPoint presentations by making a series of edits to an image-rich PowerPoint file. The workload performs the following tasks:

1. Start Microsoft PowerPoint
2. Stretch the application window
3. Open the presentation
4. Browse through each slide in turn and simulate reviewing by sleeping each slide
5. Add several slides to the presentation
6. Add image to the new slide and crop it
7. Save the presentation into a new file
8. Add text to the new slide
9. Add a video to the presentation
10. Save the finished presentation into a new file
11. Export the presentation into a PDF file

Scoring

The PowerPoint test score formula uses a geomean of the workload results to calculate the overall score.

Microsoft PowerPoint score    =    

    K × 1 / geomean(R_1,R_2,R_3,R_4,R_5,R_6,R_7,R_8,R_9,R_10)  

Where: K      =    scoring coefficient      =    3750
