Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0

With regard to processor production technologies, minor performance differences can be present. This feature is able to identify the most powerful processor core and improve its performance by up to 15%. The technology is supported on all Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition processors and Intel Core i7-69xx/68xx processors.

Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)

This technology enables simple and safe overclocking of the DDR4 memory and processor. In BIOS or through applications in the operating system, you can choose from several preset OC profiles, so overclocking really becomes a momentary affair.

Intel Smart Response Technology

This technology is based on SSD and HDD cooperation. The most frequently used application data are stored on the SSD, while larger volumes of data remain stored on the HDD. As a result, there is a considerable acceleration of the system, application downloading and game launching.
