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.

Intel 11th gen H series benefits

  • multi-task performance for streamers and creators
  • up to 4K resolution @ 120FPS (1080p @ 240FPS)
  • overclocking beyond 5Ghz
  • 20 PCIe gen 4 lanes enabling highest end GPUs
  • 6 Ghz Intel Wi-Fi 6e support

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. My favourite feature is that the benefit of faster speeds with lower power consumption, so that the heat given off is also less.

  2. I played a little more over the past year, usually in the evening, and I don’t really connect with other gamers online.

  3. INTEL H 45 processor would be great to have since it would speed things up which would be great for me thanks

  4. WOW! Magnifique prix le mien il est brisé depuis 2 semaines , j’espère pouvoir avoir la chance d’en avoir un neuf ! Je me croise les doigts

  5. My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is the lower power consumption. With power-draining processors, feeling my palms on fire, hearing my fan going crazy, and worrying about straining the life expectancy of my hardware stress me out! :p

  6. I played the same amount over this past year compared to previous years as I was still working. I play more at night, before I am going to bed. I don’t connect much with other gamers as I am wary of social media these days.

  11. faster speeds but still they could be faster as I will never be satisfied as long as there are any loading times

  12. I played games less frequently this year due to time and it was more at night. I mainly play single person games so I don’t connect with gamers online.

  17. I played games much more frequently over this past year compared to previous years.

    I sometimes play in the afternoon but mostly at night.

    I like solo play for learning the ins and outs and sharpening up skills before heading online for highly skilled players.
    Once I get online I enjoy talking strategy/Gameplay.

  18. My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is the SuperFin 10nm process allowing for me to maximize my gaming FPS.

  19. The feature of the new Intel H45 processor that would be most useful for me is the overclocking potential to up to 5ghz! I think it would really help me getting those frames up for competitive Rainbow six Siege gaming!

  20. The thing I like the most about the Intel H series that it can overclock beyond 5Ghz. I have never had a PC with that kind of power.

  21. Over the past year I have games more, generally at night. I play online with friends and we generally talk about the game we are playing, upcoming games or life in general.

  22. I played games way more frequently this year because I just got back into gaming.

    I played games more at night because I am more is a night owl.

    I connected with other games online when I got stuck in games to figure out how to progress more.

  24. My son played a little less which was surprising. Mostly in the evening. And he talks to people online only about the game they are playing.

    2. Night gamer forever, evening gamers in time zones west of me fear me 😀
    3. Still checking in all the usual haunts with gamers and hardware geeks, but there’s a malaise in the gaming comm about prices and availability of upgrades. The conversations seem to suggest many feel left out of PC gaming.
