More than a year ago, when the arrogant technology first appeared in the public's field of vision, its doubts were heard: only compatible with the 200 series motherboard, must be reconfigured, install the operating system, can only accelerate the system disk, the installation steps are cumbersome And so on, many consumers are against this new technology.
After more than a year of iterative update, AoTeng memory has made great progress. In the past, those tangled technical problems have been solved in full. Today, let's take a closer look at the 'new' AOTeng technology.
What improvements have been made to the Aurora technology compared to the original form?
With the Intel Proton adapter driver update, Now that you have installed AoTeng, you don't need to reinstall the operating system. Just plug the Aurora memory into the M.2 slot and install the Intel AoTeng memory software to speed up any data disk.
Compared with the previous system speed setting, the current AoTeng technology has got rid of the limitation of the system disk. You can install the system in a very fast SSD, and use the AoTeng technology to accelerate another data disk. The disk can be HDD, it can be SSD, as long as it is a SATA hard disk, the AoTeng technology can accelerate.
When the 'Only Accelerated System Disk' limit is removed, its installation becomes easier, there is no need to modify the BIOS settings, there are no specific installation steps, which will make it less difficult to get started.
In addition, Intel also introduced the second-generation AoTeng memory of the 2242 specification for notebooks. It has low power consumption and wide operating temperature. The operating temperature has increased from 0-70 degrees to 0-85 degrees in the first generation, which can adapt to higher speeds. Working temperature and stability are more prominent.
The technical theory of arrogant technology in the game experience
Unlike previous devices that defined arrogant memory as an accelerated production efficiency, Intel also began to emphasize the role of arrogant technology in the game. AoTeng memory can now be configured as a game write-back disk, which is between the memory and the hard disk. product.
Simply put, the CPU directly executes the commands in memory, the program transfers the contents of the hard disk to the memory, and the CPU reads and responds to the memory data.
In the game, a lot of hot data that needs to be read repeatedly may not be left in the memory, especially in a machine with a small memory, so the memory will lose some data, to ensure the stability of the real-time picture, when the game needs to be memory When the part of the data is lost, the program reads the data from the hard disk, which will cause the game to be stuck.
AoTeng technology can take over the data dropped by the memory, so that the program can retrieve the data more quickly when needed, thus improving the running efficiency of the program and making the front-end operation smoother. This is the arrogant technology written back as a game. The advantage of the disk.
AoTeng benchmark performance measured
The machine we are testing today is a water-cooled game console produced by Wuji. The detailed configuration is as shown in the above table. Generally, The installed combination of i7-8700 and GTX 1070Ti rarely misses SSD. Let's take a test to see if it can be significantly improved after a set of tests.
The first is a set of benchmark tests. Compared to HDDs that are not accelerated, AoTeng technology has brought about significant improvements in sequential read and write, 4K read and write. In practical applications, the increase in read and write speed will greatly enhance the program. Execution efficiency.
This part of the test is already familiar to everyone. Our focus today is on the changes that game technology brings to the game performance.
The impact of arrogance on game performance
"Jesus Survival" has forced many people to upgrade their computers, but most people only noticed the requirements for graphics cards and CPUs. In the 4GB/8GB single channel mode, it is still difficult to bring the ultimate gaming experience.
In the following test we will test the impact of single channel 8GB memory + 16GB Optane memory on game performance.
Considering that the i7-8700 CPU will mostly match the chipset motherboard such as B360, we set the memory frequency to 2666MHz.
↑↑↑ The game screen will be set to super high quality, turning off vertical sync.
After two rounds of testing, the frame rate curve can clearly see the impact of AoTeng memory on game performance. Under 8GB single channel memory, the frame rate of the picture is maintained at around 80FPS. After adding Optane, the frame rate of the picture is directly improved. Up to 100FPS, it is not much different from the 8GBx2 dual channel memory combination, but the cost is much worse.
The effect of arrogant on the loading speed of the game
In the above, we mentioned that AoTeng memory can be used as a game write-back disk. Under this operation, the biggest meaning of AoTeng technology is to increase the loading speed of the game. Next, we test the Aurora technology pair through Call of Duty 14. The impact of game loading speed.
The test method is very simple, the computer enters the same scene, and the time when the final loading is completed and entered into the game is recorded. The addition of Optane increases the loading speed by 12.4 seconds. For the player, it can enter the game one step faster.
Test machine introduction
This test host comes from Wuji, which uses the Fanshi F1 middle tower chassis that Xingu recently introduced. The left side adopts a side through design, and there is one LED strip on each side.
It uses the ASUS Prime Z370-P motherboard, i7-8700 processor, custom Cool Cool Extreme Sea Devil 120 water-cooled radiator.
↑↑↑ Memory is provided by ADATA's 8GB DDR4 3000MHz game Veyron.
The graphics card is from the colorful GTX 1070Ti, the design of the three fans fully guarantees the chip and memory cooling, and fully exerts the full performance of the GTX 1070Ti.
主The protagonist of this test is 16GB Optane Memory.
AoTeng technology not only accelerates the hard drive, but also enhances the gaming experience.
Through the above two sets of tests, we can clearly feel the application value of AoTeng memory in the game field. It can make the computer with small capacity memory get better game performance, and it costs 500 yuan in 8GB DDR4 memory. In the market, the price of the AoTeng memory, which sells for only 100 yuan, is very prominent.
Moreover, the arrogant memory can also increase the loading speed of the game, reduce the waiting time of the player, and make the happy experience of the game come more quickly.
All in all, AoTeng memory not only improves the responsiveness of the computer in everyday applications, but also has a lot of performance in the game, and can achieve outstanding performance in a limited budget.
