Smart Response Technology
SSD 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 benets 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.

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 efcient 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.
1.3.2 Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM
The world’s rst 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 exibility and perfect precision to ensure optimized
performance, extreme system stability and greater power efciency.
ASUS DIGI+ VRM
Digital 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 efciently 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.
TPU
The 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.
