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. I’m entering this contest for my son Romolo who’s an avid gamer.

    I’m sure he would agree with me that for him the best feature would be Using – ” Intel’s Turbo Boost Technology ” – the H45 processor ensures faster processing right when you need it the most. He keeps screaming that his computer is really slow however i don’t know if it’s due to the internet – we have high speed of if it’s his computer which he just recently purchase at Best Buy not to long ago.

    !. He’s definitely been playing more – his been laid off due to the pandemic.

    2. He plays 24\7 – morning, afternoon & night – makes no difference to him – only gets up for bathroom breaks & get food which he eats in front of his computer!!!!

    3. As for favorite topic I often hear him speaking about how his computer is slow & that it prevents him from winning some of his competitions he has with his friends online – also talks about the some of the new games that are out or coming out!!!

    I hope you’ll consider my submission for your contest so that I can surprise him for Christmas with a new gaming laptop – who knows maybe i’ll keep it for myself!!!

    Thanks for the chance.

  24. I love that the new Intel processors has higher clock speeds to improve my gaming. I also love that it has exceptional multitask performance so that I can stream and game at the same time.

  25. My favourite things about the new Intel H45 would probably be the Thunderbolt 4 support would let me connect to a docking station with a lot more ease, but also potentially help futureproof the laptop even more by allowing connections to an external gpu.

    The Killer Wi-Fi 6 support is also really great for when I can’t get a wired connection. Improved wifi is always a good thing (especially for online gaming)!

  26. My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor gaming computer would be the speed/ overclocking without the lag that has 4K resolution to make it look as if your right in the game.

  27. Our favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is its advanced architecture, with the 10 nm SuperFin manufacturing process, its Willow Cove design, and new Intel Iris Xe graphics.

    I gamed more in the morning over the past year.
    I connect with other gamers online and enjoy talking most about new and trendy gaming equipment.

  30. I played more single player games for some reason, but less than in previous years. I played mostly during the evening to unwind after a day spent on Zoom. I’m not big on playing with others online unless my peeps are on too.

  31. Definitely the Turbo Boost Technology/the H45 processor which will allow to load up the latest game from my Steam library that needs to be taken care of.

  32. I find that I am gaming about the same amount as the previous year.
    Most of my gaming time time is done in the evenings.
    Talk with other gamers/friends using Discord while playing, usually talk about the game we are currently playing and future title releases.

  35. I played less games due to personal reasons.
    Definitely played more in the mornings.
    I prefer playing alone.

    2. love playing against gamers worldwide.
    3. need a machine that is faster and more accomodating.

    2. I gamed more at night in the past year.

    3. No, I didn’t connect with other games online; I’m really more of a solo gamer.

    Thank you very much for the chance!

  41. 1. I played a lot more frequently over the past year due to having built a PC for the first time and needing to stay home during the pandemic
    2. I usually almost always game the most at night…and maybe also into the morning.
    3. I love connecting with gamers online and enjoy talking about twitch streamers

  42. My favourite feature is the Turbo Boost Technology/the H45 processor, and it would make my gaming experience better because it would help with the flow of my games (there are times when my current laptop causes it to be laggy and not flow well). It would also allow me to play more of the games I want – there are ones I’d like to play, but I know my laptop can’t handle them to any real degree. Thank you!

  43. My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 chip is how it’ll allow gamers on the move a chance to experience desktop gaming performance from a laptop. 4k gaming at 120 fps has been the pinnacle of gaming performance and it’s still mind-boggling how we’ve come so far to be able to reach this point. Absolutely insane

  44. 1. I played games less frequently because I can’t seem to balance work and gaming.
    2. I played later at night
    3. I connected less with people online unfortunately, so not too much to talk about.

  45. 1. I played games the same amount compared to previous years.
    2. I game in the evening.
    3. I’m more of a solo player and not so much online gaming.

  46. 1. I played games a little less frequently just because it’s so easy for work to leak into gaming time when working from home
    2. Laaaate at night!
    3. Only the gamers I know and usually about games we could all play together on sale 🙂

  48. When it becomes safe again, one thing the H45s help out with is not having to lug a desktop machine around or the earlier-generation heavy-as-a-suitcase laptops

  49. 1. I don’t get to play as often as the job I’ve taken during the pandemic has me working out of city a lot, but a new gaming laptop would help solve this problem.

    2. I play mostly in the evening when I have a spare moment.

    3. I play with a group of friends and usually talk about the latest game that catches our eye.

  50. The new processor should allow for less power use while giving better quality. Cuts down on my electric bill which is good news for sure!
