Celebrate the fun and excitement of PC Gaming during Intel® Gamer Days. Best Buy Canada kicks it off with great deals on Intel-powered laptops and PC Gaming accessories that will boost your gaming experience in ways you can only imagine. Running from August 27th to September 9th, Intel Gamer Days features some of the top names in PC gaming including Asus, Acer, MSI, and Dell (the brands who provided the prizes for this contest!). Read on to learn more about Intel’s most advanced processors, including Intel’s 11th Gen H45 processors released this year, then enter for a chance to win one of four amazing Intel-powered gaming laptops.

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.

  16. I have played more games than ever this year but I haven’t been able to play all the newest, most demanding games with my outdated setup! Once I am able to get a new machine I will be able to play all of gaming’s most intense titles with my friends, I can’t wait! I game as much as possible, mostly in the morning and at night but also on the afternoons of most weekends. I really enjoy playing MMO’s and other heavily multiplayer games, often chatting over discord and when we aren’t discussing strategies etc, we inevitably end up discussing all the other games everyone’s playing. I can’t always join in as my friends generally have more powerful computers than mine, but I can’t wait to try all the newest titles!

    Thanks for the chance to enter, Intel!

  19. My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is the lower power consumption. It means I can feel a little better about my gaming’s impact on the planet.

  20. I personally love Intel’s turbo boost and single core performance technologies! They’re perfect for laptop gaming as you can extend your battery life with lower overall power consumption but not lose a single frame when it comes to gaming. And to think you can pack all that performance into such a small chasis – wow! I have to travel a lot, for work and for seeing my family and a powerful laptop like this would allow me to bring a fully featured gaming setup with me wherever I go – I love the idea of showing people what these modern machines are capable of.

  25. I played games more;
    mostly at night;
    and connected with some other gamers.
    I’d play more if I won this great computer.

  27. 1. i played way less during the past year – I found new activities
    2. When I did play I played more at nights
    3, And I don’t really connect during playing – I’m a lone wolf

    3. I do not connect with other gamers online. But if I did, I would talk about the greatness of X-Men 2: Clone Wars.

  35. Best feature is Intel’s promise to bring ‘desktop power’ even to leaner laptops. This portability will allow me to game more…and interact with actual people less. A win-win!

    2) Did more gaming at night over this past year
    3) I played with US players more so interested in discussing snack choices for energy

  39. 1) gaming way more this year than ever before

    2) mostly at night

    3) I don’t really interact with other gamers online

  41. I play games much more frequently and it has gotten heavier since the pandemic for sure.

    I love gaming in the afternoon and night, not much of a morning person so it has stayed the same for a good while.

    I enjoy connecting online with other gamers and love to help and teach them how to improve. I always offer or ask to help and its exciting to meet passionate motivated gamers.

  42. I love the fact the H45 can run 4k res at 120FPS while playing over the new Intel Wi-Fi 6 technology you’ll get stronger WiFi for those houses like mine with a ton of devices connected. The high res and high refresh rate is so sweet for a lot of games it honestly changes the entire experience. I’m held back by my current CPU and a computer with an H45 would blow mine away!

  43. 1) I’ve gamed more frequently over the last year as I’ve had more time!
    2) I game more in the evenings.
    3) I don’t really connect with other gamers online. I’m more of a lone wolf

  44. The 4K resolution would take my gaming to the next level by allowing me to experience the graphics in a new and improved way!

  46. The “up to 4K resolution @ 120FPS” because I can be a graphics snob and not lose out on FPS for higher quality graphics

  47. 1. This year, I haven’t play games frequently.
    2. I usually game during the evening after work.
    3. I do not interact with other gamers online.

  49. 1) I gamed way more than I’ve ever done in the last year compared to the previous years. Having school online saved lots of time to explore things at home and I put that time into doing just that.

    2) At night, because I had nowhere to be in the morning usually during the pandemic.

    3) I’ve talked to a lot of players online during mobile games especially and some topics worth noting would just be about getting help or helping others improve at the game.
