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 played games less frequently over the past year, I was gaming a lot more in 2020 during the first covid lockdown. I usually play at night during the week. I don’t really try to connect with other gamers, people have too many opinions that I don’t care about.

  4. love the higher clock speeds
    1) same over the past year
    2) I prefer to play at night
    3) no, I don’t connect

  9. The higher clock speeds and lower power consumption are great features of the Intel H45. My wi-fi is not the best and this would help me enormously.

  14. 1) Definitely more – for the best
    2) At night, especially after a long day
    3) I’d rather play solo

  16. H45 processor will be the perfect addition in my household. A mobile unit capable of running tripple A games game while I struggle for dominance of the primary desktop PC from my children. As much as 4k @ 120 fps is a powerhouse.

  19. I like the new Intel H45 processor because it has 10 nm SuperFin manufacturing process and that is sexy and 20 PCIe gen 4 lanes – I mean who doesn’t like 4 lanes honestly. I am sick and tired of those 3 lane posers out there.

    To be honest the specifications mean absolutely nothing to me, in front of them I am like a goat reading a poster What I do like is that the new H processor will help me process movies faster. I have a hobby, I edit clips from Twitch, mostly LoL plays which then I like to post on youtube for my friends. I am not good but I am getting better. I use Adobe Premier Pro fro this and exporting the media takes time and processing power mainly on my old desktop. That’s is what I like with the new H processor, it will help me encode so much faster and I can increase the quality.
    The H processor from Intel will do the same when I stream on Twitch. Because of its power it will remove lost frames and do a much better job in encoding at a higher resolution. Right now I have a dead videocard so I do not stream at all.
    Thus, winning a laptop will be great. But here is the honest truth, I will play games less even if I win. 4 months ago my vedeocard died so now I am using the motherboard one. As all of a sudden I got all this time on my hands, I started learning about writing books, and I am starting to write one. If I win the laptop I will be able to write from it as well and not spend as much time bent over on my chair. I could go on my bed and keep writing. The above article promises that the laptops will be lighter and this I think is also an advantage as I change places around the house to write, or lug the thing outside in the park to do the same. So, that’s me.

    Good luck everyone.

  22. 1. More frequently, for sure.
    2. In the morning and midday (on lunch break)
    3. Yes, and we generally just discuss the games themselves.

  24. 1. I played more overall but I would play heavily for a week at a time and then take a break.
    2. I gamed more all day long. Less through my work hours, but working at home made it easy to play on breaks.
    3. I don’t connect with other gamers. I like single player games and keep to myself.

  26. My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is the higher clocking speeds! This’ll greatly improve gaming performance!

  28. I love the 4K resolution (need it to highlight the faster processor). Improves the visual experience.
    1) playing more to help pass the time
    2) playing more at night but starting earlier in the day (5pm)
    3) online with friends is how I’ve kept in touch with my buddies (we talk about everything!)

  30. I play more than I did in previous years.

    Most of my gaming is in the evening.

    I don’t connect with others online to play.

  31. The Tiger Lake H45 processor has the Intel Xe GPU, which is a big step up from previous iGPUs and will be a big boost for gaming.

  39. I play about the same that I did in previous years.

    Most of my playing is in the evening.

    I don;t connect with others online to play.

  44. 1. The year started well for me. I would play every day with my friends until one late afternoon my screen went black. After a few hours of figuring out what went wrong, I managed to reconnect my monitor to the onboard video of my desktop. my video card, an old 960 had died. So the last 4 months have been hard as I am installing some really old games, like Sid Miers Pirates, so they can run on my crippled desktop.
    2. I would game more in the afternoon, because my friends are from Europe and it is night time there because of the seven hours time difference. They are ahead..
    3 We talk on Discord, and I still visit them there. We woul play Monster Hunter but I cant anymore because of my dead videocard. Still one of them would stream and I can watch them play and we can talk. I like that. We talk about the game being played, about movies, books and everything in between.

    • 3rd response – i love to talk about upcoming games and we give each other tips about current games we’re playing
