Intel Optane memory supports a revolutionary new class of non-volatile memory that sits between system memory and data storage to accelerate system performance and responsiveness. In combination with the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver, it seamlessly manages multiple storage tiers and provides a virtual drive for the operating system. This ensures that frequently used data resides on the fastest storage tier. Intel Optane memory requires a specific hardware and software configuration.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases a processor's frequency as needed by leveraging thermal and power headroom to provide more speed when required and greater energy efficiency otherwise.

Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) enables the virtualization of hardware resources.
