Lenovo Rolls Out Largest Portfolio of Intel Optane-powered Devices in PH

Wazzup Pilipinas!

In a bid to deliver the latest technology to its customers in the Philippines, Lenovo, a global leader in PC and smart devices development, is announcing the launch of a portfolio of devices featuring Intel Optane memory technology. It is designed to bring greater efficiency and a more powerful experience to all Filipinos customers.

Intel® Optane is a system acceleration solution found in 8^th Generation (or newer) Intel Core™ Processors that boosts a computer’s responsiveness to end-user requests, including launching applications, finding and moving large files, and even loading levels in video games. It is designed to store commonly used data and programs closer to the processor. The system can access information more quickly with improved overall system responsiveness.

Official benchmarking results have shown the technology to be delivering up to 65 percent faster gameplay and up to 5x faster web browsing.

“With the new range of devices that features Intel Optane technology, Lenovo users can now complete tasks significantly faster with shorter wait time than before. This is a huge boost in work efficiency and will allow students as well as working professionals greater productivity to achieve much more. In addition, the technology provides gamers a near-uninterruptible gaming experience, allowing them to fully immerse into their games,” saidLenovo Philippines Country General Manager Michael Ngan.

Ngan also notes the cost-effectiveness of Intel® Optane™ devices; its abilities allow HDD (Hard Drive Disk) systems to run nearly as fast as devices with expensive SSDs (Solid-state Drive), removing the need for users to upgrade.

The technology is now available on Lenovo’s latest product range that runs on Intel’s 8^thGeneration processors and upwards, including the following:

●       Legion Y530-15ICH – with 8^th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor; PHP 78,995

●       IdeaPad 330-17ICH – with 8^th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor; PHP 64,995

●       IdeaPad 330S-15IKB – with 8^th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8550U processor; PHP 55,995

●       IdeaPad 330S-15IKB – with 8^th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-8250U processor; PHP 42,995

Continuing innovation

The release of Intel® Optane™-powered devices is just part of Lenovo’s objectives in bringing innovative technology to the market. This partnership with Intel is specifically aimed at providing end users across demographics with powerful devices that deliver high performance in every task. Lenovo is expected to release other products across its consumer, commercial, and enterprise lineups with Intel® Optane™ to make the technology’s benefits more accessible to the public.

“Be it at work or play, slow loading time can impact user experience. In more serious cases, it can lead to decreased productivity and revenue loss for businesses. Our partnership with Intel aims to help users avoid these unnecessary problems, by providing a seamless and near-uninterruptible experience to all Lenovo users,” said Ngan.

Intel® Optane™-powered Lenovo devices are available in major electronics stores.
