Understanding Intel Optane Memory is as easy as, well, making pancakes. Don't believe us? Start by thinking of the data your computer uses as the ingredients you need to make pancakes. Imagine the computer's processor as the cook, and the DRAM as your kitchen countertops. The store that sells all these ingredients is the hard drive, and it's a mega-store two towns away. To get the ingredients, the cook has to drive to the store, and bring the ingredients back to the countertop where they're needed to cook. That's a lot of work every time you want to make pancakes. Until now, speeding up this process has usually meant adding more DRAM, or counter space, that is both expensive and unrealistic. Even with a larger, expensive countertop, you still need to get all those ingredients from the store. That's where Intel comes in. Intel Octane Memory sits between your hard drive and your processor. Kind of like a big, convenient pantry right next to your kitchen. Intel Optane memory also uses a system accelerator driver. Let's call this driver sous chef. The sous chef gets everything ready for the cook. Over time, your sous chef learns that you make pancakes every Saturday morning. Good for you. To prepare, our awesome sous chef gets the ingredients you need from the store, and keep that in the pantry. So the system accelerator automatically learns your computing behaviors and accelerates frequent tasks by intelligently identifying the files and data you access most frequently, and storing them in the Intel Optical Memory module. Thank you sous chef. Now you have all the ingredients, or data, right where you need it in your pantry. So no more trips to the store. It's a faster, more responsive PC with no lag. Intel Optane Memory will accelerate any seventh Gen core processor based system. How do you get Intel Obtain Memory? Install the Intel Optane Memory module in an Intel Optane ready motherboard or system. Or, beginning this summer, purchase a complete system with Intel Optane Memory already installed from a local retailer. So you can be a beast in the kitchen and achieve dramatically better performance, with all the storage capacity you need. In other words, you can have your pancakes and eat them too.
