Dual Intelligent Processors 3.1 with New DIGI+ Power

Control

The world’s ﬁrst Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered twin onboard chips - TPU

(TurboV Processing Unit) and EPU (Energy Processing Unit). Dual Intelligent Processors

3 builds on that foundation with new SMART DIGI+ power control, which includes multiple

digital voltage controllers, allowing ultra-precise tuning for the CPU, iGPU

and DRAM. It’s

upgraded with one-click extreme performance optimization and selectable CPU wattage

levels, offering easier power control and better power savings with the user-friendly AI Suite

II utility.

Smart DIGI+ Technology

Get incredible performance increases with TPU and the all-new SMART DIGI+.

Up to 85% CPU O.C. Performance Boost

Always at the forefront of digital power design, ASUS propels you into the future

standard of power management by SMART DIGI+ Technology, which works with the

TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) to give an exceptional increase in CPU overclocking

performance. When combined, you can adjust CPU ratios manually in the TPU and

enable the all new SMART DIGI+ Key by a single click to see an extreme boost in TPU

frequency up to 85%.

CPU Power Wattage cut in half!

SMART DIG+ Technology also includes the Smart CPU Power Level proﬁle, which

reduces CPU power consumption to a speciﬁc indicated wattage with a single click,

creating a cooler and quieter PC. With the support for the next generation Intel

VRD

12.5 power design, ASUS once again leaps to the future of innovation.

TPU

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.

EPU

Tap into the world’s ﬁrst real-time PC power saving chip through a simple onboard switch or

AI Suite II utility. Get total system-wide energy optimization by automatically detecting current

PC loadings and intelligently moderating power consumption. This also reduces fan noise

and extends component longevity.
