03/02/2022

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

Notes
  • 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.
  • You must use this chipset in a platform (system/motherboard) that contains the proper BIOS support. Consult your motherboard/system vendor for more information.

 

Important Notes: 

Operating System Support

  • Windows 10 64b: All driver versions referenced below are supported, see the driver Readme for specific builds validated.
  • Windows 11 64b: See the following article for the latest support details Windows 11 Support.

Make sure you have the proper driver version installed on your system for acceleration from the table below.
