Intel® Smart Response Technology SSD Speed with HDD Capacity Intel® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses 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, and an important part of Green ASUS eco-friendly computing. *Intel® Smart Response Technology is supported by 2nd/3rd 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 can receive fresh updates for selected applications, even when the system is in sleep mode. This means less time waiting for applications to update and sync with the cloud, leading to a more efficient computing experience. 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. 1.1.2 Dual Intelligent Processors 2 with DIGI+ VRM The world's first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered twin onboard chips - TPU (TurboV Processing Unit) and EPU (Energy 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.
