Chapter 1
1.3.2 Dual Intelligent Processors 3 with SMART DIGI+ Power
Control
The world’s first Dual Intelligent Processors from ASUS pioneered twin onboard chips - TPU
(TurboV Processing Unit) and EPU (Energy Processing Unit). Dual Intelligent Processors
3 builds on that foundation with new SMART DIGI+ power control, which includes multiple
digital voltage controllers, allowing ultra-precise tuning for the CPU, iGPU and DRAM. It’s
upgraded with one-click extreme performance optimization and selectable CPU wattage
levels, offering easier power control and better power savings with the user-friendly AI Suite
II utility.
Smart DIGI+ Technology
Get incredible performance increases with TPU and the all-new SMART DIGI+
Up to 85% boost in CPU frequency
Always at the forefront of power design, ASUS propels you into the future standard of power
management again by SMART DIGI+ Technology, which works with the TPU (TurboV
Processing Unit) to give an exceptional increase in CPU overclocking performance. When
combined, users can adjust CPU ratios manually in the TPU and enable the all new SMART
DIGI+ Key by a single click to see an extreme boost in CPU frequency up to 85%.
CPU wattage requirements cut in half!
SMART DIGI+ Technology also includes the Smart CPU Power Level profile, which reduces
CPU power consumption to a specific indicated wattage with a single click, creating a cooler
and quieter PC. With support for next generation Intel® VRD 12.5 power design, ASUS once
again leaps to the future of innovation.
TPU
Unleash your performance with ASUS’ simple onboard switch or AI Suite II utility. The TPU
chip offers precise voltage control and advanced monitoring through Auto Tuning, GPU Boost
and TurboV functions. Auto Tuning offers a user friendly way to automatically optimize the
system for fast, yet stable clock speeds, while TurboV enables unlimited freedom to adjust
CPU frequencies and ratios for optimized performance in diverse situations.
EPU
Tap into the world’s first real-time PC power saving chip through a simple onboard switch or
AI Suite II utility. Get total system-wide energy optimization by automatically detecting current
PC loadings and intelligently moderating power consumption. This also reduces fan noise
and extends component longevity!
