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.

favourite feature of the new chip is the:
up to 4K resolution @ 120FPS (1080p @ 240FPS)
Crisp clean graphics is my biggest pet peeve when playing games
I have been playing games more frequently over the past year. I usually play more in the afternoon and evening. I don’t really connect with gamers as I usually play single player games.
I am liking the lower power consumption of the Intel H45 as it can help battery life.

H45 processor ensures faster processing right when you need it the most
ie. no more hiccups when the action gets frantic
I found myself playing games more frequently this past year (up from very infrequently the past several years), and more often in the morning or afternoon as my schedule flexibility was improved. I generally don’t connect with others a lot through gaming, but made good use of online communication tools to keep in touch with distant family and friends while quarantined/hunkered down.
The lower power consumption is good for the laptops so it doesn’t get too hot!
The low power consumption, small form factor, and upgraded graphics the H45 allows means I can use my laptop for both work and play while staying mobile. It is the rare win win win.
1)yes, I played much more in the past year
2) I play mostly in late afternoon/ early evening
3)I just play with 1 buddy online, chat about everyday things
Lower power consumption is a very nice feature.

Faster speed so I don’t have to worry about frame rate while playing.
The lower power consumption will help make gaming better
My favourite aspect is the big improvements to instructions per clock, which means that the CPU does more with less.
1) I played games the same as I usually do
2) on the weekends
3) I do not connect with other gamers online
My favourite feature of the H45 is lower power consumption which should translate into cooler running temperatures for gaming
H45 + 5Ghz overclocking = favourite feature & it will ensure the CPU will never be the bottleneck in gaming performance
I’m curious as where my 2 posts are and my friends post, we took the time to comment but find our posts aren’t posted. We had the time stamp too, my friend did his around 4 pm today and I did mines around 2-3 pm. Do post that dont pass review get deleted because that’s odd. Answering 3 questions about one’s gaming experiences shouldn’t be a bad post…don’t need to post this but at least email me back an answer and support thank you!
Faster cpu with lower power consumption, win win!
My favourite feature is the lower power usage which should result in cooler operation and longer battery charge.
I game mostly at night, more since the pandemic and rarely play online
I’m curious to see the power consumption improvement
1) I had a little less time to play this year
2) Mostly in the evening, for a while we even had a fixed Friday online game night!
3) I mostly meet up with existing friends when gaming online
1) I played games more frequently over this past year during lockdown
2) I gained more at night over the past year
3) I do not connect with other gamers online
I hope it will bring affordable yet high performance gaming to laptops, and the new architecture looks poised to do just that.
1. Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years; Waaay more frequently, being locked down and unable to leave the house
2. Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year; Much more at night after the kids were asleep
3. Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most? I don’t enjoy online gaming as much as getting people in the same room together for gaming so I don’t connect with other gamers online
My favourite feature of the H45 is lower power consumption which should translate into cooler running temperatures for gaming
The new 10nm process for lower power consumption!
1. I play about the same over this past year compared to previous years.
2. I game more at night
3. No , I prefer to just play
Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years
* I played more games this last year, partially in response to less travel time that left me closer to a computer that could handle gaming with more grace.
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year
* I found my gaming ended up mid-afternoon to early evening when my physical energy levels were lowest.
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
* Rarely do I connect directly with other gamers, gaming is to let me disconnect.
My favourite feature is the Intel H45 processor because of faster processing better gaming experience.
I want to play with the new processor and see what it is capable of and see if the base clock rate and overclocking rates that are listed are accurate. But, from a practical point of view, the 6 Ghz Intel Wi-Fi 6e support will be what helps make gaming better for me. A household with other people means compromises on where gaming takes place and the setup isn’t always optimized. If the Wi-Fi works as promised, it would be a noticed improvement for me.
