When ideas strike or deadlines loom near, there’s no time to waste waiting for files to load. Today’s fast-paced world demands a computer that can keep up with the speed of business. Desktop PCs powered by Intel Core processors and Optane memory automatically learn your computing behaviors and improve the performance of the files and programs you use often — so you spend less time waiting, and more time creating.
How it works
Intel Optane memory is a cutting-edge system acceleration solution that stores commonly used data and programs closer to the processor for faster system access and responsiveness.
3D XPoint™ memory media + Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) driver = Intel Optane Technology
- Faster task completion
- Reduced wait time
- Quicker start or boot
- Speedier application launch
- Expedited file search
- Rapid file save for large files
2.1x better responsiveness for everyday tasks
Smart memory
Optane Technology recognizes and remembers when you repeatedly access a file or program and optimizes the response time.
File access
Don’t lose your creative flow while you wait for apps and files to open.
- Retrieve files 3x faster.
- Launch & navigate up to 5.8x faster.
- Large media files load up to 2.6x faster.
Memory vs. DRAM
Intel Optane memory uses non-volatile 3D XPoint™ memory to accelerate your computer’s access to non-volatile data — which persists even when your computer is powered off.
Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is a volatile memory technology that temporarily stores processor inputs and results. When you power down your device, the data in the DRAM disappears.
- Non-volatile data
- Documents
- Pictures
- Videos
- Music
- Applications
Optane + DRAM
Optane memory technology acts as a compliment to DRAM. Together, the two memory technologies enable greater computing performance with faster access to data and applications.
Experience a creative rush.
