Intel® Turbo Memory with User Pinning

Enhancing system performance through memory innovation

Intel® Turbo Memory with User Pinning brings mobile and desktop systems performance to new heights through the innovative extension of Flash Memory architectures into computing platforms. User pinning offers more options to the user to improve system applications launch time and responsiveness.

User pinning

The new user pinning capability feature, via the Intel® Turbo Memory Dashboard, allows the user to choose and control which applications or files are loaded into the Intel® Turbo Memory cache for performance acceleration. Custom pinning profiles can be created to pin applications or files that match the user's activity, such as PC gaming, office work, or home tasks

Performance

Intel® NAND Flash Memory, working with the Microsoft Windows Vista* ReadyBoost* and ReadyDrive* technologies, adds a new low-latency, non-volatile memory cache between the system memory and the hard drive. This enables fast access to critical data and applications.

• Fast application load times, hibernation and resume
• Fast overall application responsiveness
• Fast boot time
• Quick access to frequently used applications and/or files from user pinning
• Enhanced data loss protection using RAID 1, 5 and 10

Platform compatibility

Intel® Turbo Memory cards are compatible with Intel® Centrino® and Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology for notebook PCs and Intel® Core™2 processor family with Series 4 chip sets for business desktop PCs and digital home media.
