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 4X 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
family on Windows ® 7™ operating systems.
** Operating systems must be installed on the HDD to launch Intel
The capacity of the SSD is reserved for caching function.
Intel Smart Connect Technology
®
Your computer can receive web updates with fresh content 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 low-power hibernate state in seconds.
Saving your system memory to the designed SSD, it provides your computer a faster wake-
up response time, while still keeping the energy use low.
PCI Express 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
S/PDIF out connector at the back I/O
This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems
via the optical S/PDIF (SONY-PHILIPS Digital Interface) out connecor at the back I/O. The
S/PDIF transfers digital audio without converting it to analog format and keeps the best signal
quality.
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.
