Celebrate the fun and excitement of PC Gaming during Intel® Gamer Days. 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.

    3. I connect online with people through Discord while gaming in a session. It’s easy to communicate with some, all, o just one person in the game and I can view conversations on a separate screen from the game.

  6. I think the power management of the H45 processor is the most appealing feature. It will let the computer run cooler so the fan won’t kick in so soon. Fan noise and heat are the biggest issues to me for laptop gaming.

    3. I tend to game solo. I prefer games that don’t need the multiplayer aspect to it to enjoy.

  13. Q: Favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor and why you think it will help make gaming better for you?

    A: 4K resolution @ 120FPS is my favourite feature because it makes the gaming experience more immersive.

  14. My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 is it’s turbo boost capabilities, in addition to being quite efficient at it. This will make gaming a lot better as I often need a little extra power in certain areas of a game, and this processor will be able to handle things very well.

  20. I definitely have been gaming more, making it a priority to relax and decompress.

    I game at night when the kids sleep.

    I hook up with the people in my life I haven’t been able to see in person as often as I would in the past.

  21. My favourite feature is the overclocking beyond 5Ghz and to play at 4K 120 FPS, that’s amazing. You said one but I could of named all the features!

  23. Over the past year I spent ridiculous amounts of hours gaming and content creator due to the pandemic, definitely more then I have in past.

    I would game in the morning and night until about 5 in the morning.

    I run a large gaming discord community with a few thousand members, I spent a lot of time help the various community that we serve.

    I also like the that it has more threads

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

    I used to play alot but have not been playing games much lately, because of my 3 years old mid grade laptop.

    Most of the time i played at night.

    I had connected with other online gamers, mostly in shooting games, where we mostly talked about special/hidden features of that specific game which are not commonly used.

  31. The H45 is a fantastic multi-core processor that looks to really use the best out of its 8 cores. As more and more games start incorporating multiple core optimization, it would be great to have a CPU that is ready for that!

  32. I definitely played games a whole lot more! I spent much too long playing, in fact lol

    Depends if you count 10pm-3am early or late 😉

    Yes I do. It’s typically convo on strategy and general game play.

  33. This past year got me playing a lot on my time out of work as I really needed an escape from working on the frontlines as a paramedic.

    I have been playing mostly at night after work as my shifts mostly end at 1 am.

    I do enjoy playing and chating with my real world friend on games. It’s a great way to escape the harsh reality, so we talk about everything other than the pandemic !

  35. 2- 1. I played a lot more games this past year due to the COVID19 lockdown. There wasn’t much to do except watch TV and play games after work
    2. I used to play games more after work in the late afternoon around 6 pm till night
    3. Yes I did connect with a lot of gamers and the main topic was about which gaming PC we have, the difference between each one of them, and our personal experience about it

  36. 1) Played more but mostly on console as I don’t have a good enough laptop anymore to play PC games.

    2) Mostly in the evenings and weekend but some afternoons if people weren’t working.

    3) I mostly game with my friends online from Canada and the US and we usually discuss the latest gaming news like the coming release of the new Battlefield 2042 or by playing different things like the COD alpha this past weekend or the Diablo 2 remake demo the previous week.

  37. 1. I’ve been playing more frequently as I’ve been watching stuff, studying, and even sleeping inside games, while in VR.
    2. I’ve been playing far more in the morning because I’m actually home in the mornings due to world circumstances.
    3. I enjoy talking with other gamers about how to get better at or optimizing strategies and builds for whatever we are playing.

  38. Absolutely love that it has the ability to play games in 4k and I really love the fast processing time. That’s huge for me!!! Lag is the root of all gaming evil.

  39. 1) Less because of my crappy computer/laptop my games lagged too much
    2) Evening/Night
    3) Did not connect with gamers online but would have loved to have talked about what people were doing or new hobbies gained during the pandemic

  40. I’ve been playing games considerably more over the last year.
    I usually play games at night usually into the early mornings.
    I connect with other gamers constantly and we normally end up talking about the state of the game we are playing and/or or hopes for the game.

  41. 1- Intel H45 processor offers significant single-threaded performance improvements and an approximate 19% improvement in multi-threaded workloads, despite having a similar number of cores. Tiger Lake-H processors also support DDR4 speeds up to 3200MHz and feature higher-performing Xe-graphics engines. As such, expect a huge improvement in gaming performance, speed, resolution, and overall experience!!!

  42. My favorite aspect of the Intel H45 is that it make for an extremely portable and high quality experience. The new designs makes me clearly lean toward Intel when it comes to choosing a processor company.

  43. 1. I play about the same amount as I did before covid hit. I’ve always been pretty serious about gaming

    2. Definitely at night after work too. Late night grinds lol

    3. I have made more friends online and had better connections then with people I’ve met in the past. We always talk about the state of games and how they can be improved or we just talk about what’s going on outside of video games

  44. Favourite feature of the new Intel H45 is the 8 core processor for quicker processing and has lower power consumption!

  45. 1) more or less the same
    2) night is always best, but if you have free time, anytime works
    3) connected with gamer friends and just connected to catch up with each other

  46. I love the lower power consumption, less power = less heat for doing the same thing. I am tired of nearly burning my hand on my laptop from like playing Minecraft on low settings… or opening chrome. I need an upgrade.

  47. Covid had me gaming more than I did the past few years. My kids are old enough to play with me, it adds to the fun!

    We tend to play more in the afternoon and early evening.

    I online with buddies. Chat about in game stuff and upcoming releases.

  48. The H series speeds and 4k capabilities look amazing but I’m most excited for better multitasking. As someone who is always doing more than just gaming on my machine its exciting to see this feature.

  50. Best feature of the Intel H45 processor is having the power of a desktop anywhere I go with the ability to play games in 4K
