Metric OpenBlade Razer Synapse

Background CPU 0.13% 0.48%

Memory ~93 MiB ~805 MiB

OpenBlade was measured on September 3, 2026 on a Razer Blade 16 RZ09-0581 with BIOS 4.00, with the tray, service, and Session Agent all from build d13fd31. Totals include all three. Memory averages the private working set from the background and Dashboard-open states, sampled once a second after the app had been running an hour: 90 MiB hidden, 96 MiB with the Dashboard open. A freshly started OpenBlade holds about 163 MiB until Windows trims the three working sets, which happened around fifteen minutes into a 26-minute idle run and did not reverse. Background CPU is 90 one-second samples with the tray hidden, normalized across 16 logical processors; the service accounts for almost all of it and the tray for 0.004 points. Razer Synapse 4.0.698 was measured on July 23, 2026 on the same laptop, covering 31 processes and eight services; it has not been re-measured against the settling behavior described above.
