Explanation

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) reduces CPU utilization and latency through network adapters with hardware offloading. These adapters handle data transfers directly between memory locations, bypassing CPU-intensive operations like memory copies and protocol processing. Larger buffers and software like Magnum I/O may enhance performance, but hardware offloading is the core RDMA feature delivering these benefits.
