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

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.

Win amazing laptops during Intel Gamer Days Contest Rules and Regulations
Good Luck.
My favorite feature is the H45 processor
Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years;
1. I play less frequently as I have a full-time job and have a house-hold to take care of. Man I miss those days as a student.
2. I game more-so in the afternoon and evening. I stream my gaming sessions primarily in the evenings.
3. I do connect with some gamers online. Some pop into my Twitch stream and we discuss things about the game I’m playing, or just life in general – I try to keep it an open community on my stream.
1. Played pretty much the same amount 2. Night is the time for me. 3. Enjoy online but not much communication.
The performance and battery life for a laptop are definitely appealing for the Intel H45 processor.
The higher clock speeds contributing to quicker processing is a huge benefit!
I gamed more in this past year due to the pandemic, more often at nights and weekends, and I enjoy talking about social aspects of gaming online. P.s. my birthday is september 10th so this is an awesomely timed contest :).
The high battery life and processing speed will enhance my game playing by increasing the time required to plug in the power and decreasing the dreaded loading experience.
1. I played games more frequently this year compared to past years.
2. I played more in the afternoons and evenings over the past year.
3. I connected with other gamers online mostly through Twitch. We talked about upcoming and newly released games and computer hardware.
The long battery life would be awesome
My favourite feature of the H45 processor is its efficiency and increased IPC due to being on the 10nm process. It will make gaming better for me by being able to deliver more fps than my current 8750H based laptop.
The long battery life and the high speed of the processor are fantastic features
1. I played more the past year compared to the other years.

The long battery life and the high speed of the processor will enhance my game playing!!!
Since the pandemic I’ve been gaming substantially more. Instead of spending time in the gym lifting weights I spend time at my desk lifting my controller.
Although I do enjoy gaming in the morning with a cup of Joe, my band of misfits gather at night to kill zombies, hunt ghosts or score goals using RC cars!
I connect with other gamers online and the topic I enjoy and comes up the most is portable gaming technology. These include unique devices like gaming laptops, the GPD Win 3, Steam Deck, or Nintendo Switches.
GL HF!
Cheers!
8cores (16 threads) offers significant improvements in performance & multi threaded workloads.
As a student, this provides extra headroom to take on tasks that require more than basics, multi tasking & demanding gaming.
1. My favorite feature of the Intel H45 processor is the 10nm design which will hopefully prevent heat build up or thermal throttling, and allow me to game for longer without needing to slow down or charge the battery.

Cheers!
The lower power consumption and faster performance is what I love about the inter H45 processor. Battery life has always been a problem for me and since o travel a lot, this will enable me to even keep playing on the go.

2. I play more at night, because of my daily schedule

Processing speed of the new Intel H45 processor
My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 is having the power of 8 cores in a thin and light laptop that you can take ANYWHERE instead of being tied to a desktop. Having the ability to play games, stream and be creative and still have long battery life is terrific.
I love the processing speed of Intel H45!
I love how you can now get similar power to a desktop gaming pc on a laptop!
1 – Little bit more since i had way more time on my hands. Got to finish a few that were started a long time ago.
2 – Afternoon and night
3 – We talk about pc customization
Best feature is the 6 cores / 12 Threads for the i5
My favourite feature of the H45 processor is definitely its capabilities with overclocking and its ability to enhance bandwidth with certain GPU’s.
1. I have been playing games more frequently over the past 2 years not only due to COVID but because I recently moved where gaming has helped me keep in touch with all my friends.
2. I play more at night after I have gotten my daughter to bed I dedicate the later hours to myself to decompress and have fun gaming with friends.
3. I have gotten to connect with many more casual gamers like myself through general chat about the latest GPU’s and CPU’s and the new benefits and advantages they give through gaming and 4K editing.

My favourite feature is ithe H45 processor which ensures faster processing
My recent gaming experience:
1. I played games more frequently this past year compared to previous years since I have never been home this much and isolated from my social community. Gaming all day finally felt more socially acceptable since my partner, friends, and family were all cooped up inside as the first few lockdowns began to take place. I credit this past year for allowing me to explore beyond my usual gaming genres to engaging in a various different types of games that I had never played before. I even engaged many friends to destress with specific games to help shed the typical gamer stereotype that many colleagues in my academic field have (typical stereotypes are that they are lazy and lack passion for actively stimulating tasks). I wholeheartedly disagree since gaming has personally helped me through the feeling of loneliness and stagnation which I began to experience. I also see how it can be mentally challenging and stimulating and specifically curated a set of games for my own lab members and began virtual gaming sessions. A gaming laptop with its portability and improved performance would be incredibly useful for my day-to-day life and current funds have limited me from acquiring one of these gaming laptops.
2) Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year: I have been gaming at night after my work day and daily errands are completed so I am at peace and can get lost in gaming for the rest of the night until I eventually fall asleep.
3) Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most: Yes, I have connected with previously unknown gamers online based on a community of mutual interests. Yet, typically I engage my friends and colleagues in online gaming sessions where we collaboratively discuss aspects of game design and challenges as I am currently in development for a game incorporating elements of our research in marine science. Gaming is such a fruitful industry yet a analytical, well-informed, accurate game based on the seafloor is missing and I know my community worldwide would be keen to engage with such a game. Beyond my academic-creative interests, we discuss gaming strategies and hardware components for improved gaming performance. For example, different graphics cards was a topic of discussion most recently.

My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is the improved graphics and and multi-tasking performance. This will help make gaming better for me since in addition to being an avid gamer, I am a marine scientist seeking to integrate my underwater videos into a gaming platform and am also in the game developer side of things. In addition to my desktop, this would make for a great travel laptop for conferences to showcase current developments of my game design and host live playthroughs during events.
