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.

  1. The Intel H45 processing speeds looks amazing. When latency and packet loss an issue playing FPS games, I’m excited at the chance to see how this new processor helps with that. To know a laptop can perform like a desktop is going to be an amazing evolvement in the world of gaming.

  2. The biggest thing I’ve noticed with the processor is it’ll really help me break into streaming as it’s a big improvement on my current setup

  3. 1) I played more last year as i was home most of the time.

    2) i played mostly during evenings.

    3) Sometimes, talked mostly about the game and new games launches.

  4. I am gaming with an old pc so I guess the new proc would helps a lot!

    Mostly gaming at night and last year was not a busy one! Most of the time we are outside with friends. Much less gaming. We did chat a lot over the lack of good gaming and unfinished games!

  5. Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
    – Less actually.

    Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
    – Morning. Got woken up quite a bit by our new son and couldn’t sleep, so would play games with the volume off.

    Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most?
    – Only really with family (brother in laws).

  6. To be honest I play much less this year than in previous years. Over this past year I play more at night, because have not enough free time. If I play online games, of course I spend a lot of time with speaking with my gaming friends and we speak about everything

    1. I’ve played games more frequently due to pandemic closures and stay at home orders

    2. Typically game in the evenings and weekends

    3. I regularly game with friends across Canada. We use gaming as an easy way to stay in touch.

  8. 1) Probably played a bit more as work was closed due to Covid for the first few months of 21’.
    2) usually the evening/night after work. During the day on weekends.
    3) I stay in quite a bit of contact with my friends online and we usually discuss the latest gaming news or how were our hangovers lol

  10. I love that the laptop is light weight but it still offers amazing processing power that would ensure my games run smooth.

  11. 1) I’ve gamed A LOT more this past year. As the world shut down, I found myself lost in games. I went back to worlds I’d left and forgotten about… And fell in love all over again!

    2)I definitely gamed more in the afternoon than I ever did before… Specifically on weekends. Times I would be out I found myself locked inside enjoying a game.

    3)I’ve definitely connected with many people while gaming. We’ll talk about anything – Life, the world, but mostly the game we’re engaged in!
