Intel H series processors bring gaming to life even in the thinnest laptops
Intel’s 11th Gen H Series processors bring desktop calibre performance to laptops. Push the boundaries of your gaming, even on the thinnest machines. Intel calls it, “Desktop power for any desk” and they don’t coin that tagline for nothing. For years, desktops have been the benchmark when it comes to PC gaming performance; however, Intel-powered laptops have evolved to deliver comparable performance of bulky desktop, and play high resolution, maximum frame rate games anytime and anywhere. The H45 processor, the latest in the H Series, lets you get exactly that.

The advantages of the Intel H45 processor lie in its advanced architecture, with the 10 nm SuperFin manufacturing process, its Willow Cove design, and new Intel Iris Xe graphics. You get 8 core CPUs, higher clock speeds, and lower power consumption. Using Intel’s Turbo Boost Technology, the H45 processor ensures faster processing right when you need it the most.
Gone are the days when power and performance require a big and bulky desktop, or a heavy, clunky laptop. Truly, the H45 processor is designed with the most demanding PC gamers in mind, so gamers like you get nothing but great performance for your toughest gaming adventures.
Gaming brings us all together
Gaming is becoming one of the best ways for you to connect with people who have similar interests from across the globe. Outside of gameplay many gamers connect through social media platforms like Twitch and YouTube by streaming their gameplays. During the first quarter of this year alone, there were a total of 8.8 billion hours of gaming streamed online. Some of the gameplay is from eSports professionals, allowing you to learn new tricks, while others come from people just like you who want to share a great gaming experience they had, or show how great gaming is because of the new machines and PC components they added to their system.
Whether you’re gaming for fun or streaming your gameplay for your avid followers to watch, you need the most reliable gaming laptop that plays as hard as you do. With a new array of game releases for PC this year, like Psychonauts 2, Dying Light, Fifa 22, and many others, take the unparalleled gaming performance offered by Intel’s new H45 processors, or any of Intel’s new processors anywhere you want. Experience the excitement and speed of the most demanding game titles even on ultra-thin laptops.

1 I play games about the same amount, maybe slightly more
2 Mostly at night, sometimes afternoon
3 No, I usually play offline or 1 player games. For online multiplayer games, I usually just keep to myself.
Simply put: the processing power, even unboosted at the bottom of the stack, is impressive. I’ve done pretty well staying competitive by not cheaping out on processing power when the time came to upgrade, especially as that isn’t often.
I like the low power consumption because it will allow me to game longer on the go.
I like the up to 4K resolution @ 120 FPS. That higher resolution is sweet.
The feature I really like is lower power consumption. It is great to see attention being paid to this, we can all help reduce energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint.
1. I played games more frequently over this past year because I was home more.
2. I gamed more in the afternoon.
3. I have only connected with my son online and he teaches me how to play.
Good luck to all!
My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is the up to 4K resolution @ 120FPS (1080p @ 240FPS). This will make viewing games so much sharper and smoother.

Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years; Less – need a machine that can handle the games.
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year; night
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most? Don’t connect.
I love the screen resolution!
The “up to 4K resolution @ 120FPS (1080p @ 240FPS)” feature will make for a great picture and enhanced experience
1. I’d say I’ve played games about the same amount this past year, compared to previous years.
2. I gamed more at night over the past year.
3. I do not connect with other gamers online.
The new favorite feature is up to 4K resolution @ 120 FPS. I like the high resolution for gaming.
Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years:
More! Nowhere else to go!
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year:
Evening, definitely.
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
I love connecting with others and talking about our favorite games!
1) I played games less frequently over this past year compared to previous years.
2) I usually game more at night.
3) I do not connect with other gamers online.
Less power consumption is a draw for me
My favourite feature of the Intel H45 is the reliability and speed.
I love that the screen resolution is amazing!
My favourite feature is the 6 Ghz Intel Wi-Fi 6e support.
It has to be the H-45…..fast !
1. I’ve played less lately than in the past
2. I usually play the most in the evening
3. I’ve played both online with others and also by myself
thanks for the contest!
My favourite feature of the Intel H45 is faster processing! Thanks for the contest!
I played more in the last year. I played mostly in the afternoon. I do not contact other gamers online.
My favorite feature of the Intel H45 ls less power consumption.
Power, gaming performance and play high resolution.
4k makes everything clearer
1. I did less gaming in the past year. I guess like many, I’ve been in a slump that’s hard to get out of.
2. When I did play, it was evenings after work.
3. When I did play, it was on my own. Though, in retrospect, going online would probably have been good to counter the isolation.
Without a doubt the 4K resolution @ 120 FPS would be my choice! Everything will look so crisp and smooth!
I think Intel H45’s Turbo Boost Technology would provide amazing performance for glitch-free gaming!
1. Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years?
I would say more frequently due to being inside more often.
2. Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year?
More so at night then any other time, I am not a morning person.
3. Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
I love to connect with new people online, my favourite topics are new video game releases and technology.
I’m very excited about the low power consumption! This has always been a problem for me and it’s great it’s being improved on!
The up to 4K resolution will improve my experience.
It’s been a mixed bag played less because my pc is too old but discovered cloud gaming services so than I can play some newest titles.
Mostly play ay night.
Gaming drama I’d alwayd an interesting one. Ie. What’s happening with blizzard and how its effecting the gaming landscape as a whole
Have I played more or less in last year? MORE gaming in last year.
Did I game more in morning, noon or night? I’m an afternoon gamer kinda guy
Did I connect with other gamers in last year? No – I prefer going Solo while gaming.
I gamed more over the last year as I was not working, so can do it anytime of day – evening seems to have better competition than morning (not sure if that relates to players in different timezones/countires). I’m here to play, not chat – so don’t interact with other gamers.
My favourite feature of the H45 processor is the higher clock speeds and lower power consumption.Having higher clock speeds makes things even faster, and the lower power usage is mucho importante because every penny counts!
I do play games more often.
At night.
Solo. If talking to myself counts – relax, destress are the topics.
i think the improved graphics will be easier on the eyes after increased screen time.
1. I haven*t been playing noticably more over the past year.
2. I play mostly in the evenings.
3. I*d rather play than connect with other gamers
I like the lower power consumption.
I like theIntel Iris Xe graphics feature as it should be good in a mobile without add-on video
1) I have gamed far more over this last year as compared to previous years. Gaming has saved my sanity during lockdown and other restrictions. Gaming saved my life!
2) I have been gaming more during morning, and afternoon, over the last year, However I game far more in the evening than all other times.
3) I love to connect with other gamers online. The topic I enjoy talking about most is game tactics and tips. I love to share our experiences and learn from each other.
i am gaming so much more now, ever since the pandemic!
I like the better power performance.
My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is the higher clock speeds, and lower power consumption. Normally there is a trade off. You can have one, but have to sacrifice the other in order to get it. Sure you can have a powerhouse processor, but don’t expect a good battery life. OR… you can have great battery life, but don’t expect blazing speeds. The Intel H45 processor gives you both… That is by far my favourite feature.
I think it will help me make gaming better, by allowing me to play processor-intense games for much longer time while on battery.
1. I play more often.
2. mostly late evenings.
3. Just me, not looking to connect.
1. Played about the same, worked full-time since the beginning of the pandemic.
2. Play mostly in the evening.
3. Solo player, not connecting with other gamers.
New Intel Iris Xe graphics would be a much better experience!
My favourite feature is the 6 Ghz Intel Wi-Fi 6e support.
1) Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
I would say I played more frequently than compared to previous years simply due to the fact that instead of going out on weekends I had nothing better to do than game all day.
2) Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
I’m definitely more of a night owl. With work from 9-5, most days I’m gaming are 7-12.
3) Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
I did connect with many gamers online, the beauty of online gaming is that you can play with people across the world. My favorite topic of discussion has to be discussing about other people’s countries that I haven’t visited and learning about their culture/life.
1 I played games more often.
2 mainly in the evening.
3 I tend to play alone.
