ASUS Fully Supports Intel Optane Memory Technology – April 25, 2017– Fremont, California (Techreleased) – ASUS is excited today to announce industry leading support and compatibility across its broad range of 200-series motherboards for Intel’s new Optane memory technology. All that’s required is a UEFI BIOS update¹.
Intel Optane memory is a new class of non-volatile memory — packaged in an M.2 module format — that is designed to serve as ultra-fast cache for slower storage devices like mechanical hard drives. The combination of Intel Optane memory and a large HDD delivers intelligent system acceleration that minimizes boot-up times, reduces file-load times and speeds up frequently performed tasks. This allows users to enjoy the benefits of improved system performance and responsiveness while maintaining large storage capacities.
Full Support and Easy Upgrades
ASUS 200 Series motherboards offer quick, safe, and smooth firmware updates via ASUS USB Flashback or EZ Flash 3 — and now they also support Intel Optane memory. Once installed and configured, the ASUS UEFI BIOS will retain all Intel Optane memory-configuration details — so you won’t need to re-enter settings when restoring, updating the BIOS, or when you clear the CMOS.
