The Zalman ZM-PCM1 is a CPU power consumption meter while the ZM-VPM1 measures GPU power consumption. Both are very useful for reviewers and enthusiasts that need a consistent way to measure component specific consumption even when their system changes. Look for these products to be featured in our CPU or GPU reviews.

The ability to isolate these components individually also makes this the perfect tool for benchmarkers and product testers, allowing them to accurately measure the consumption of specific components even with ever changing hardware around it. This makes it possible to compare power consumption of one GPU or CPU despite changes in a test platform, be it from updates or broken hardware.
