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 favorite feature is the PCIe Gen 4, for the potential of what direct storage can offer in a future software update.

  2. 1) Over this past year I’ve been playing more video games due to covid and having more free time.
    2) Lately I’ve been gaming more in the late afternoon into the night.
    3) With some of the people that I talk to online, most of them I know personally but some of the ones that are in a different country than us. It’s fun to talk about some of the crazy things that have happened in our lives.

  3. 1) I played much more frequently.
    2) Definitely the evening and night
    3) I had more social evenings play games with friends and chatting about everything under the sun than in previous years.

  4. The lower power consumption means I can play for longer and have less worries about the impact on the life of the machine and the environment!

  5. The three (3) things about your own recent gaming experience are:
    1) I played about the same frequency this year compared to past years
    2) I play in the evening/night
    3) I don’t normally connect with other gamers online.

  6. 1 Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
    — Very much not much else to do when you cant leave the house!

    2 Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
    –Mostly in the night when all my friends were online

    Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
    — Love talking about the games and hardware

  7. I love these thin gaming laptops my favorite feature is the overclocking past 5ghz., I enjoy tinkering with my computers so that is a really fun feature and more frames are a huge help in those fast paced shooters.

  8. 1) I played games WAY more frequently. I suddenly had a lot of free time!
    2) I game in the evening after work. A perfect way to end the day.
    3) I do not connect with other gamers online as everyone else is at least half my age.

  9. 1. I gamed more due to the COVID lockdown
    2. Almost exclusively at night
    3. Connecting is what it’s all about. We chat about movies, food and new games

  10. 1. Gamed a bit more.
    2. Night.
    3. Yes, typically ones i know. We catch up as it has been a long time and many are overseas.

  11. Playing as much as I did last year. Times are routine.
    Playing in the evening.
    I connect with others but talk is mostly small talk…where are you etc.

  12. Recent Gaming Experience:
    1. Played on average more than previous years but not by a large amount.
    2. Gamed more at night than I used too as I didn’t have a long commute in the morning while working from home.
    3. Not much, I do play online but not with a group of friends as most are not into gaming anymore. 🙁

  13. My favorite feature of the Intel H45 processor is lower power consumption for better mobile gaming.

  14. 1. Maybe a little more, but mostly the same
    2. Mostly in the morning
    3. Not really, mostly a solo gamer

  15. I look for screen resolution and battery life primarily.
    I don’t do much gaming, but I appreciate the raw performance that a gaming laptop provides.
    The 15.6″ screen is a good compromise between portability and screen size

  16. Intel H45 core 8, better for multi tasking and doing many things at once (games, music, video etc)

  17. 1. I have played games much more frequently over the past year.
    2. I play games more at night.
    3. No, I do not connect with other gamers online.

  18. My favorite feature of the Intel H45 CPUs is the 8 cores. It will help because it makes it easier to play games and do other things at the same time, like listening to music, and recording the screen.

  19. I played games more frequently over the past year, at night and chatted mostly about Covid conditions around the world.

  20. 1. I was gaming a lot more in the past year. Due to COVID, my wife and kids had to get help from her in-laws in another province while I had to stay home doing essential work here so we were apart for months. With nothing much else to do, gaming filled the void.
    2. Mostly at night due to work commitments.
    3. I am mostly just a solo gamer. I find I cannot game and hold a conversation at the same time, lol.

  21. Overclocking beyond 5Ghz and having 8 cores is something that will obviously boost the gaming experience!

  22. 1. I played more than previous years.

    2. I played more at night .

    3. not online, i play with my kids.
