Will a thinkpad p71 with a xeon processor support optane memory?

OBaba — Fri, 02 Nov 2018 19:50:40 GMT

Hello,

I recently bought a lenovo thinkpad p71 with an M2 ssd, and an HDD

the P71 comes with a xeon processor - Intel Xeon E3-1505M v6

i have been considering buying an optane drive 32gb to speed up the HDD

i have been unable to confirm if this laptop model/processor supports optane memory -

also, if it does, will it support the secondary drive

Kindly confirm

thanks in advance

Hi ybabata,

Thank you for posting in the Intel® communities.

In order to confirm if your specific laptop model supports the Intel® Optane™ Memory, it's recommendable to contact the Lenovo* directly.

From the information of your processor and according to the information available in this article: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000026040/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html?_ga=2.175169890.1385199236.1541189147-1716436649.1536075640 Software and Platform Support for Intel® Optane™ Memory , I'd say that your laptop won't support the module as this processor is not listed there, but it's better to contact Lenovo* directly for confirmation.

I hope you find this information useful. If there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask.

Have a nice day.

Regards,

Diego V.
