System acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory is supported on the following CPUs and chipsets.

Note
  • Secondary/data drive acceleration requires the specified Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) driver version and corresponding system BIOS
    • Unless otherwise noted, the processors/chipsets noted below support secondary/data drive acceleration
  • 8th Generation Intel® Core™ mobile processors now support system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ memory M10 modules. 
  • You must use this chipset in a platform (system/motherboard) that is also Intel® Optane™ Memory ready and contains the proper BIOS support. Consult your motherboard/system vendor for more information.

Make sure you have the proper driver version installed on your system for acceleration from the table below. To download the latest driver available, review the information per your intended usage.
