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.

Intel’s Turbo Boost technology allows for faster response time.
So excited about 4K 120fps resolution!
Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
Oh yeah more than any year before I worked from home which gave me the ability to save on time that I did commute which I used to play video games.
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
Well, mostly it was afternoon and night I work during the morning. My favorite time to game is at night.
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
Yea I have a large community that I game with and our topics ranges from GPU shortage to game-related stuff. But we mostly talk about the game we play at the moment.
From the features of the new Intel H45, I really like is that it can support the new killer wifi 6! Also, Intel has collaborated with Nvidia and I believe it will benefit the gaming community that uses laptops.

2. I game more at night, I work during the day of play with my kids when I am off work.
3. I don’t really game with other people very often but when I do it is with a tight knit group of friends.
The longer battery life is definitely the best feature. Longer life = more gaming of course!
I gamed much more this year, especially in the evenings. I rarely connect with other online, but when i do it is usually with close friends
1) Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
This past year was my most avid year of gaming in recent memory. I found myself revisiting old classics and competing online in the newest games.
2) Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
I’m definitely a night owl when it comes to gaming; the sun goes down and the gamer comes out.
3) Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
I’m always talking online with fellow gamers; discussing new strats for the latest games, tweaking our rigs and settings to get those extra frames, or pouring over the latest game trailers.
The low power consumption would be super great as it will mean more flexibility!
The best feature of the new processor is definitely the higher clock speeds. The 10nm SuperFin process has allowed Intel to pack 8 cores with more power into less space and maximize system speed. I’m looking forward to this extra speed pulling the most out of my GPU and pushing my gaming to its highest performance levels.
Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years; Absolutely! Way more.
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year; Lots more mid day gaming, so the afternoon would be my answer.
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most? I tend to only game with myself and my close circle of friends, that said we loved talking about how much better we were than others in the group! A little friendly trash talk is never a bad thing.
