Intel® Smart Response Technology Intel® Smart Response Technology, an important part of Green ASUS eco-friendly computing, reduces load and wait time, eliminates unecessary hard drive spin thus lowering power usage, and uses an installed SSD (requires 18.6 GB available space) as a cache for frequently accessed data or applications. It combines SSD performance and hard drive capacity, operating up to six times faster than a hard-drive-only system, to boost the system's overall performance. * Intel® 2nd/3rd generation Core™ processors on Windows® 7™ operating systems support Intel® Smart Response Technology. ** An operating system must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel® Smart Response Technology. *** 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 Intel® Rapid Start Technology allows your system to receive updates for your web applications in real-time even when your system is in sleep mode, saving wait time and power usage. PCIe 3.0 Ready PCI Express® 3.0 (PCIe 3.0) is the latest PCI Express bus standard with improved encoding schemes that provide twice the performance of current PCIe 2.0. Total bandwidth for a x16 link reaches a maximum of 32GB/s, double the 16GB/s of PCIe 2.0 (in x16 mode). As such, PCIe 3.0 provides users unprecedented data speeds, combined with the convenience and seamless transition offered by complete backward compatibility with PCIe 1.0 and PCIe 2.0 devices. PCIe 3.0 will become a must-have feature for users who wish to improve and optimize graphic performance, as well as have the latest technology available to them. PCIe 3.0 speed is supported by Intel® 3rd generation processors. Gigabit LAN solution The onboard LAN controller is a highly integrated Gb LAN controller. It is enhanced with an ACPI management function to provide efficient power management for advanced operating systems. Chapter 1 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
