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.

Win amazing laptops during Intel Gamer Days Contest Rules and Regulations
Good Luck.
Being able to set the clock speed of the H45 gives me added control.
I usually play games in the evening or more accurately watch my sons compete for time sharing the family computer. 🙂
Honestly, probably lower power consumption while upping overall processing power.
I’m really excited about the multi task performance. My current build sometimes gets overwhelmed when streaming and my streaming app will crash, so I’m hoping to get my hands on an 11th gen cpu (or one of these awesome giveaway pieces) in the future to see a world of difference!
2) Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
The sane as previous years
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
Mostly at night
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
Sometimes, and it’s always to discuss the game
1) the 4k resolution will allow me to fully experience some game’s graphics and design and some videos
I think the Intel H45 processor and its faster processing appeals to me…I have been known to get impatient with slow loading times 🙂
Haven’t really played any more or less I’d say, mostly a nightowl so get in my gaming in the evening and night.
1. More frequently.
2. Night
3. Not really. Just played and talked over chat.
I love the overclocking beyond 5Ghz
Pcie gen 4
Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
Way more. Gaming kept me sane being stuck inside due to Covid all year.
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
Definitely a late night gamer.
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
Yup on twitch streams, critiquing the best players.
Desktop power now in laptop form, sign me up.
I like higher clock speeds and lower power consumption
I played less than previous years due to medical. I usually play in the late afternoon. I do not connect with gamers online.
My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is it uses less power so I can actually play longer when I don’t have the laptop plugged in.
1. I have played a little bit less compared to the previous year due to my workload and family projects.
2. I usually game at night when I come back to work and need some distraction.
3. I don’t connect with other gamers.
My favourite feature of the Intel H45 processor is its faster processing.
Over this past year, I’ve played a bit less than previous years due to time constraints. Generally most of my gaming will be in the afternoon as that’s when I typically have free time. I typically spend most of my time playing single player games but I play multiplayer games with my friends and we often talk about trying different new games or updates of existing games.
I’ve always gamed on desktop and haven’t really played as much on laptops primarily because of performance differences. Seeing how comparable the two are now is quite nice so my favourite feature would have to be focused on the higher overall performance of the chip.
I have played game more frequently this last year, I’ve found more games I’m interested in committing to. I usually play at night, and I don’t really connect with other gamers other than my own friends (we like to talk about specific games we are playing at the moment, like Minecraft).
The faster the better when gaming
My favorite thing about the Intel processor is that is uses less power, so you can use your laptop for longer!
1. I have played more VR games this year to try and get more exercise but overall my amount of gaming is about the same.
2. I usually game at night when I can’t sleep trying to either relax or with VR tiring myself out.
3. I sometimes connect with other gamers and we talk about what projects each person is working on.
I love the higher clock speeds and lower power consumption.
I play less games now but I also have a toddler that was born during the pandemic, I mostly play at night as well when he is sleeping. I do connect with other gamers online to talk about the exciting new features coming to consoles, new games, and lots of hype about cloud gaming.
I love the higher clock speeds and lower power consumption.
Favorite feature of the new H45 processor overclocking beyond 5Ghz . 1. Gamed a lot more due to the pendimic and working from home . 2. Usually I game after 5 pm when am off work , would play some in the early mornings on weekends . 3. I usually play with Real life friends and we always talk about graphic cards .
Over the past year I have definitely played games more often, due to lockdown. I find myself gaming more in the morning now, as I no longer have to commute to work, so I fit in a couple of hours before I start. And due to crossplay on several games I’ve been able to get in touch with friends who are on other platforms to me, and were previously unable to play with.
My favourite feature is the 8 cores and Hyper Threading, as I do a lot of multi-tasking between work and gaming.
1. Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
Definitely more frequent. I was always at home during lockdowns and really had nothing better to do.
2. Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
More at night. Late night when the kids and wife are all in bed so I can focus on the game.
3. Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
Definitely connected with gamers playing warzone. Mainly talked about upcoming battles in rebirth or verdansk.
“20 PCIe gen 4 lanes enabling highest end GPUs.”
I’m looking at getting a 3080 or greater GPU sometime before I’m 60 and this is the most important aspect of the H series for me.
Lower power & faster clock speed
Love the higher clock speeds, and lower power consumption.
I played more in the winter but less in the summer as I was outside all the time and out on my bike.
In the winter I played in the afternoon and into the night. Games are a way to connect with friends and others when we were not allowed to be together.
Did you play games more?
Maybe a bit more, but I have always gamed a lot.
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year?
Night, definitely.
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
Unfortunately not anymore, I used to and we would talk about how we did in the game.
Having 8 cores and 16 threads in an efficient package with a higher max TDP is the most appealing feature of the H45 processors.
Faster clock rates with lower power consumption.
Definitely gaming more this year then before, being stuck at home so much!
Late night gaming is the best
Like chatting with other gamers from all over and learning what day to day life is like for them vs me
The H45 processor is my fav feature. Faster processing for more seamless game play!
In the past year, I’ve played games more than ever, it helped with my mental health a lot, I worked in the morning and gamed in the night with friends, I’ve made so many online friends from different countries, we all hang out in Discord and chatted with each other on games, pop culture, current events, etc. it’s been really fun!
I like that the H45 has 8 CPU cores, it’s going to make gaming for me run smoother and faster and allowing me to stream games while gaming at the same time!
1. I played game more frequently this past year as most of my activities were cancelled.
2. I gamed more in the evening over all but also gamed a lot more in the afternoons then I have in previous years.
3. I did connect more with my friends while gaming since I couldn’t get together with and we mostly talked about different games but also just a lot of trash talking each other while playing.
My favorite feature of the new Intel h45 processor is the 120fps at 4k resolution. This will make for a much sharper picture than I am currently getting.
power and speed!
I got to play more games this year as my kids are getting into it. More at night due to work schedule. While I don’t do much online gaming, it was my son’s main way to keep in touch with friends during all the lockdowns.
Digging the lower power consumption to allow longer battery life for gaming on the go.
Personally I’m excited for the faster processing power. My current laptop feels like a geriatric tortoise, so anything would be an improvement.
I’ve definitely played more games over the last year- lockdown made it much easier to find time to play
I play more during the day than I used to
And I like to connect over shared gaming experiences and funny glitches the most 🙂
I’ve played more frequently than last year, and now I play in the afternoon. I don’t connect with other gamers online as I always play with my family.
I like the lower power consumption feature!
