Best Buy Canada kicks it off with great deals on Intel-powered laptops and PC Gaming accessories that will boost your gaming experience in ways you can only imagine. Running from August 27th to September 9th, Intel Gamer Days features some of the top names in PC gaming including Asus, Acer, MSI, and Dell (the brands who provided the prizes for this contest!). Read on to learn more about Intel’s most advanced processors, including Intel’s 11th Gen H45 processors released this year, then enter for a chance to win one of four amazing Intel-powered gaming laptops.

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.

  6. My favourite feature would be the power saving mode since it would save a lot of time, and I am usually always on the go.

  7. 1. I have played games a little bit more in the past year. I have been interested in discovering new genres of games.

    2. I play more in the evening since I have more free time then. It is also a time that I can relax and be by myself.

    3. I enjoy connecting with gamers online since I can make new friends, and we have many similar interests. We like talking about our interests and school lives.

  8. 1) I’ve been playing games less frequently compared to last year.
    2) Played more in the afternoon.
    3) I mostly play solo, but I’ve definitely connected with other gamers who like the same games as me.

  9. My favourite feature of the Intel H45 processor is the lower power consumption, which will allow me to game even more.

  12. Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;

    1. I actually played fewer games since I now started video game design school. So instead of playing games, I am now making them. And a new laptop would be very useful.

    2. Saturday mornings are for gaming! Especially if I want to play horror games for example that’s going to be in the morning because we all know monsters only come out at night.

    3. I mostly enjoy playing solo games but I do connect with others online and we talk a lot about the design aspect of games.

  13. With the 11th Gen H4 I’ll finally be able to play on high resolution with a high FPS. I’m yet to experience 4k gaming.

  15. Reviews say that H45 is good for gaming, particularly the 11th gen processors. I really like that 6-cores is now mainstream, even for core i5’s.

  16. saving power with the H45 processor will be awesome
    more games this past year, shorter commute what with WFH
    night time is the best time
    mostly solo gaming, not much engagement with other games

  18. I am entering hoping to win this for my son.
    1. Definitely played more than last year.

    3. Played with friends against other gamers. Loved being in teams.

  19. 1. I have played games a little less this past year as I have been focusing on other things like mental health issues. I am very much looking forward to getting back into it.

    2. I play more in the morning as I feel that is the time I have less disturbance and more focus and my friends from all over the world are usually online then.

    3. I connect more with gamers online because we are able to focus on the topics we like rather than have other everyday topics intrude on what we are talking about. We usually talk about the games we are playing currently and what games we look forward to coming out.

  20. My favourite feature is the Turbo Boost Technology. I am into overclocking, but it can be tedious with a lot of freezing and shutdowns until you find the perfect settings…and use up too much power to have the same settings on for the whole time when not needed. I think having this technology kick in when I need it would be a much easier option.

  21. 1) I’ve always been a gamer and the flexibility this year has introduced has allowed me to really enjoy some longer games that I never had the time to play before.
    2) I tend to game whenever I’m free, most of the time this means the morning or at night.
    3) I connect with gamers online all the time. Most of our discussion is about new games and technology that’s been announced.

  22. My favorite feature in the new H45 processor is the low power consumption. It brings great benefits like increased cooling and longer batter life for when you want to game without being tethered to a power cable.

  23. Intel H45 processor is efficient, low power consumption than most processors. Will use it for longer times without charging.

  25. 1) I’m playing less I find my system is too outdated for all these new games out that I cannot enjoy game play anymore.

    3)I used to connect with other gamers online. I personally enjoyed just getting to know them and just talk about regular things.

  27. 1. I played more often this year because of the pandemic.
    2. I’m a night owl. Weekdays gaming is scheduled at night post work, weekends when I’m not out I’m gaming all day long.
    3. Because of the pandemic, I spend time playing online with my friends (different countries) this way we get to talk and spend time with each other. We speak about different strategies and try to team up with other gamers.

  28. Intel H45 processor is efficient, low power consumption than most processors. Will take advantage of using it for longer hours without charging.

    2) If I did, I played in the afternoon with my kids.
    3) I normally do not connect with other gamers online.

  34. I like the fact that Intel H45 processors bring desktop caliber performance to laptops, even to the thinnest machines. This means I can bring my games everywhere with me, to the coffee shops, parks, vacations, anywhere and enjoy the games with families and friends.

    2. I’m more of a night gamer because my mornings are spent in college and evenings on my job.

  37. 1 – I played less this year, worked more.
    2 – Mostly at night time
    3 – Mostly a solo player.

  38. The new Intel H45 processor has a lot of perks:
    Highly developed cores that will prevent lags and the battery savings power is a huge advantage. These combined as well as other factors will enhance my gaming experience.

  40. well what there’s not to love I absolutely loved all the new features of the H45 processor but if I have to pick one it will be lower power consumption because I’m a student so I am always on the go
