Intel� Optane� memory requires specific hardware and software configuration.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep� Technology
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep� Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep� Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep� Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.

Secure Key
Intel� Secure Key consists of a digital random number generator that creates truly random numbers to strengthen encryption algorithms.

Intel� Speed Shift Technology
Intel� Speed Shift Technology uses hardware-controlled P-states to deliver dramatically quicker responsiveness with single-threaded, transient (short duration) workloads, such as web browsing, by allowing the processor to more quickly select its best operating frequency and voltage for optimal performance and power efficiency.

Intel� Deep Learning Boost (Intel� DL Boost) on CPU
A new set of embedded processor technologies designed to accelerate AI deep learning use cases. It extends Intel AVX-512 with a new Vector Neural Network Instruction (VNNI) that significantly increases deep learning inference performance over previous generations.

Instruction Set Extensions
Instruction Set Extensions are additional instructions which can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).

Intel� Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0
Intel� Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 identifies the best performing core(s) on a processor and provides increased performance on those cores through increasing frequency as needed by taking advantage of power and thermal headroom.

Intel� Total Memory Encryption
TME - Total Memory Encryption (TME) helps protect data against exposure via physical attack on memory, such as cold-boot attacks.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies
Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption and thereby temperature when required in order to remain within normal operating limits.
