Intel AOpen Memory It is Intel's new black technology that was launched at the same time with the seventh generation of Core Duo. Many evaluation organizations have released their own Ao Teng Reviews article.
So how does Intel's AOT with this new black technology aura memory actually perform in our actual application? Take a look at the actual records that IT Encyclopedia brings to everyone.
Historically, hard disk performance has been a shortcoming of the entire computer hardware, including the hardware scoring capability of Windows itself and other third-party hardware's running software. Increasing the loading speed of hard disk data has become an important part of improving computer performance. One ring.
Intel AOpen memory works
Before entering the Eoton Review, let's take a look at a simple analogy to see how Intel's AOpen memory works.
If the processor is a weapon equipped by an elite unit, then the hard disk is an ammunition library. If ammunition supplies cannot be transported to the frontline as quickly as possible, then sophisticated weapon equipment and even higher-profile processors are all Clouds.
The emergence of Intel Ao Teng memory is equivalent to the establishment of a front-line ammunition depot, and it is always necessary to replenish the ammunition required for full weaponry (Preload the data most likely to be used by users into Intel AOpen memory and the processor can call faster ), so that front-line combat troops can get the fastest supply of ammunition to maximize their strength.
What is the difference between Intel AOpen memory and traditional memory?
Intel AoTeng memory and traditional memory each play different roles in computers, not as a substitute for traditional memory. Traditional memory serves as a bridge for communication with processors, and AoTeng memory serves as a warehouse for bridgeheads and stores data in hard disks. Placed in advance on the bridge, waiting for the call of the CPU, the first time the data will be sent to the memory for operation by the processor.
Therefore, there are also users who like to call it 'cache'. In simple terms, after the Intel AOpen memory is added, the loading speed of traditional mechanical hard drives is expected to be comparable to that of solid state drives.
Actual combat - Ao Tang evaluation
Before evaluating the Intel AOpen Memory, we first need to understand the configuration conditions of the AoTeng memory running:
1. Main Board: It must be supported by new motherboards such as Intel 200 Series or 300 Series (such as B250, Z370, etc., the normal motherboard package will have the corresponding logo), and the motherboard needs to have M.2 slot;
2. Processor: Must use 7th/8th generation Core i-series processors (including i3, i5, i7), not Pentium, Celeron and other processor platforms;
3. Hard disk: Ao Teng memory only supports UEFI mode installation system, and the disk format must be GPT (Audumeng memory is mainly for the mechanical hard disk SATA interface speed-up effect);
4. System: You must use Windows10 operating system.
This evaluation will use the HP Elite Desk 800 G3 desktop host as the main platform to measure the performance improvement before and after joining Intel AOpen Memory.
HP EliteDesk 800 G3 is a standard commercial host equipped with Intel Core i5-7500 processor, equipped with 8GB DDR4 memory. Although there is no built-in SSD, it adopts the storage combination of Aootun Memory + HDD, and we will separately Teng memory + HDD, pure HDD, and SSD + HDD collocation, test data loading performance under different scenarios.
Intel proud Teng evaluation: theoretical performance
1.ASS SSD Benchmark Test
In terms of hard disk transfer speed testing, Intel AOpen's combination of memory + mechanical hard disk has greatly improved the read capability. The sustained read speed of 861.96MB/s is even higher than that of SATA3's SSD, and the overall score is even better.
2.PCMark 8 storage test
The storage test of PCMark 8 focuses on the real performance difference among storage devices. The following figure shows the running data of each configuration:
HDD: 2370, Intel AOpen Memory +HDD: 4947, HDD + SSD: 4940, Mechanical drives with Intel AOpen's internal memory have been greatly improved in terms of storage performance compared to pure mechanical hard drives, and the comprehensive score is comparable to that of SATA3 SSD. (Even there is a slight overtake in scores).
Intel proud Teng evaluation: real application scenarios
1. System boot load speed
The following tests can be seen from the time the host's start button is pressed to enter the system. With the Intel AOpen memory, the loading time into the system is basically comparable to that of the SSD, which leads the purely mechanical hard disk. The actual improvement effect is obvious.
2. Windows Defender scan completion time test
Using Windows's own security program, Windows Defender, scans 52,251 files in the Windows folder. This project mainly tests the time it takes to scan for viruses and security holes.
In the showdown, the combination of Intel Atom's memory plus mechanical hard drives once again surpassed the combination of solid-state drives and mechanical hard drives with a small margin in testing to become optimal. The configuration of purely mechanical hard drives still lags behind without exception.
3 file compression and decompression test
Document Compression: Use Winzip to compress 215 files with a total capacity of 397MB into a ZIP file. This project is used to test the time required to compress or decompress a large number of files.
4. Unzip the file: Use Winzip to extract the compressed ZIP file from the project to another directory on the hard disk.
5. Install software test
The time required to install Apple iTune 12 (64-bit), this project is used to test the time spent installing small tool software.
6. Open the Excel file test
The time it takes to open a 39MB Excel file, this project mainly tests the time it takes to open a large Office program.
7.Photoshop startup test
The time required to start Photoshop. This project is used to test the startup speed of common software.
to sum it up Ao Teng Reviews The data is not difficult to conclude that the host equipped with Intel AOpen memory is completely comparable to the SSD in the actual performance of loading performance, even surpassing SSD in some projects.
Intel AOpen's memory is mainly used to enhance the loading speed, for users who often run large software and the host is not equipped with SSD, or for large-scale software because of capacity reasons can not be installed in the SSD users, Ao Teng memory is a good solution Program.
With the current e-commerce price, a combination of 16GB Aotun memory + 1TB mechanical hard disk can be realized within 500 yuan. The experience of using a 1TB SATA3 mechanical hard disk can be obtained. The price of a 1TB SATA3 SSD is basically 2,000 yuan. The cost-effectiveness of this solution is self-evident.
