Intel® Smart Response TechnologySSD Speed with HDD Capacity

Intel® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance by using an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available capacity required) as a cache for frequently accessed data. Key benefits include reduced load and wait times, and lower power consumption through the elimination of unnecessary hard drive spin. This technology combines SSD performance with hard drive capacity, operating up to 6X faster than a hard drive-only system.

*Intel® Smart Response Technology is supported by 3rd/2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family on Windows® 7™ operating systems.

**Operating systems must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel® Smart Response Technology. The capacity of the SSD is reserved for caching function.

Intel® Smart Connect Technology

Your computer could receive web updates with fresh content for selected applications, even when setting the system to sleep. This means less time waiting for applications to start, update and sync with the cloud, providing a more efficient way.

Intel® Rapid Start Technology

Allows your computer to quickly resume from a lower-power hibernate state in seconds. Saving system memory to the designed SSD, provides your computer a faster wake-up response time, while keeping the energy use low.

1.3.2Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM

The world’s first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered the use of two onboard chips—EPU (Energy Processing Unit) and TPU (TurboV Processing Unit). New generation Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM digital power design launch control into a new era, empowering users with superior flexibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized performance, extreme system stability and greater power efficiency.

ASUS DIGI+ VRMDigital Power Control: Digital Power Design for the CPU and iGPU

All-new digital CPU power controls work perfectly together to match digital power signal (SVID) requests from the CPU, with ultra-fast sensing and response efficiently delivering precision power. Accurate delivery reduces waste, and provides more stable CPU Vcore voltages. Users can adjust CPU and its processor graphics (iGPU) voltages for various overclocking scenarios, with accurate input through UEFI BIOS tuning or the exclusive ASUS interface. This proprietary design increases overclocking headroom to push performance to its full potential.

TPUThe Ultimate Turbo Processor

Unleash your performance with ASUS’ simple onboard switch or AI Suite II utility. The TPU chip offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring through Auto Tuning and TurboV functions. Auto tuning offers a user friendly way to automatically optimize the system for fast, yet stable clock speeds, while TurboV enables unlimited freedom to adjust CPU frequencies and ratios for optimized performance in diverse situations.
