Utilization score* The extent to which a critical hardware component of the PC
is used. The score is used to gauge the overall performance
of the PC. Higher scores indicate that the PC resources are
overused and may affect the user experience.
CPU utilization* The average load on the processor of the PC over a selected
time period. The utilization is categorized as follows based on
the criteria defined by Dell:
● Low—average load on the CPU is normal.
● Medium—average load on the CPU is increased.
● High—average load on the CPU is at the highest level and
may affect the device performance.
GPU utilization* The average amount of video memory (VRAM) used over a
selected time. The utilization is categorized as follows based
on the criteria defined by Dell:
● Low—average GPU utilization is within the normal level.
● Medium—average GPU utilization is sometimes high and
normal at other times.
● High—average GPU utilization is at the highest level which
may affect the device performance and can lead to the
video card to wear out sooner than expected.

average amount of memory used over a selected time period.
Low memory or consistently high memory reduces the device
performance.
Installed memory* Size of RAM installed on the PC, for example, 32 GB.
