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.

1.) Over the last year I have gotten into not only gaming but into computers themself. Not only have I been grinding my rank in Apex, Valorant and Overwatch, but I’ve also been researching brands and effective parts and Intel always is great.
2.) Normally I play most my games in the afternoon and night since I sleep in and workout in the afternoon.
3.) In the last year especially I have met gamers from all over Canada and America, there’s so much great people that I never would have had a chance to meeting if wasn’t for gaming.
I play a lot of fps games currently like Valorant, since it’s such a cpu based game for the competitive advantage it would be great to have the H45 processor. Also, no more deaths from freezing.
1. I play games more frequently this year than last year.
2. I play more in the night, after work.
3. I connect with friends online but rarely other new gamers. We usually enjoy talking strategy and just random things about life.
The H45 with its 8 cores and higher clock speeds will allow me to play next-gen games with little to no problems.
gamer!
Recent gaming experiences:
1. Played about the same throughout the last year.
2. More in the night
3. No I didn’t
Favourite feature of the H45 based CPU’s is the fact it has more than 4 cores, which will help with doing both gaming and streaming at the same time.
2) 1. I play games more frequently over this past year compared to previous years.
2. I game most of the day including morning, afternoon, and night over the past year.
3. I connect with other gamers online and talk about Call of duty and strategy to play.
The new Intel H45 processor will give me the speeds to game with less lag and freezes during play.
I probably played the same amount as before. My gaming is spread throughout the day. Not really. Most games I play are solo. Thank you
1. I played games a little more frequently over the last year.
2. Mainly at night.
3. Generally play single player and couch co-op games.
The Intel H45 processors’ lower power consumption while playing games at 4K and a high FPS sounds incredible!
My gaming expiriences:
1. I’ve been playing more singleplayer games but in terms of multiplayer my laptop just can’t keep up in requirements with all these newer multiplayer games.
2. I play the most at evening-night because of work and my friends are available to talk to around that time.
3. It’s very rare for me to become friends with someone online as I just play games with people I already know but whenever I do, it is usually to give them advice or help them grind in whatever I play, like Destiny 2 for example.
1. I haven’t been able to really play games at all this last year. I’m currently on a 2 Year service mission. I left my family, friends and schooling opportunitys to serve others and help people gain traction and joy In there lives! Im reaching the end of my time and can’t wait to play games again. They are always such a big part of my life!
2. when it came to gaming it was most often at night! After being with family and friends all day I would always play when I was free! You usually late at night!
3. Always! Gaming with friends is the best! Also having the ability to meet new people and make friends is a big plus. Always good to be postive as well you never know if someone really needs it! When it comes to a topic most often it’s just life! Having a good open environment to share the ups and downs of life is always important!
I think a big reason that it will be an upgraded for me is the 4k resolution, coming from a PS4 I have always wanted to purchase a good gaming laptop! The Intel chip will also make it a big jump from my PS4.
