Intel\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> auxiliary storage Optane memory<\/a><\/strong> drives are a smart, adaptable system accelerator based on 3D XPoint non-volatile memory technology \u2013 and are now available for 8th<\/sup>-Gen Intel Core processor laptops and desktops.<\/p>\n

The technology is designed to accelerate performance on a system by RAM-caching pieces of a user\u2019s most frequently-used applications so that they load faster, allowing users to enjoy a faster, smoother, and more responsive computing experience.<\/p>\n

This means it learns and remembers work patterns to track tasks users value and use most, turning unique computing habits into productivity advantages.<\/p>\n

It also reduces bottlenecks with its sequential read\/write speeds of up to 1,200\/280 MB\/s, allowing nearly-instant program loading \u2013 letting users work more efficiently as they spend much less time waiting for apps and programs to open.<\/p>\n

To experience this faster-than-SSD performance, users can simply combine Intel Optane memory into their systems with Intel 8th-gen processors and compatible motherboards.<\/p>\n

Uncompromised capacity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Optane storage drives are available for purchase in 16GB and 32GB capacities, and when paired with Optane-ready devices, they provide up to 2.2-times faster performance and responsiveness without compromising storage capacity.<\/p>\n

The 16GB drive is ideal for running multiple applications and frequent task switching, while the 32GB drive is ideal for running data-intensive applications, multiple games, and creating and editing large-format media.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the demands, both the 16GB and 32GB Intel Optane drives let you take advantage of high-speed acceleration and affordable large-scale storage capacity to keep frequently-used files and applications close at hand.<\/p>\n

Smooth gameplay <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Optane storage is also ideal for gamers, who often have to wait for new levels or media to load while playing AAA titles.<\/p>\n

With Intel Optane storage, users can experience up to 4.7-times faster game level-loading and 1.7-times faster media loading, simply by boosting a large secondary HDD with Intel Optane memory\u2019s new Data Drive Acceleration feature.<\/p>\n

This means gamers can stop waiting at loading windows and start experiencing smoother gameplay.<\/p>\n

To save money and many hours of lost productivity, customers can also upgrade to a new computer with Intel Optane Memory already installed. To purchase a complete system with Optane memory pre-installed, customers can visit their local retailer.<\/p>\n
