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.

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. As a new dad, I definitely played less frequently since November 4, 2020 when my daughter was born.
2. Being a new dad, I had to game whenever I could get it in. Sometimes it was in the morning while doing my morning cardio on a stationary bike, playing my switch. Other times it was at lunch (working from home), during naps times, or after everyone went to bed.
3. I connected with other players over Street Fighter V or Tekken 7 (when I could connect). What I enjoy talking about online with other players is strategy.
1. Higher clock speeds at lower lower consumption. In a gaming laptop, that is essential to hit higher frames and not kill your battery.
1. The multitaskong feature especially for streamers is very game changing. This gives Intel a big leap over the competitor.
2. I play mostly at night after work and weekends 2 to 3 hrs online and sometime offline games with family and friends.
3. Online gaming is the best way for me to reach out, chat and socialize with other people. Playing online almost everyday 2 to 3 hrs with friends. Streaming and communicating using discord. I am excited to get a hand of one of the laptop with the new Intel’s greatest creation. Congratulations to Intel!
I played less this year mostly because I worked from home so spent more time working and any extra time getting out to exercise – especially biking since it’s summer…
I gamed mostly evenings when time permitted.
I do connect with other gamers but the conversations revolves around weather, what’s it’s like living in Montreal and about games, music, movies and entertainment/shows/nightlife.
Mostly I game in the morning before I start my day. The high processing speed will make a big difference! And the battery life a game changer
1. I played more last year compared to the previous years.
2. I gamed more throughout the night.
3. Yes. I love connecting with gamers online and everywhere basically.
I love talking about new creators I find interesting, future developments and how to make gaming spaces safe for everyone.
Favourite feature is the 20 PCIe gen 4 lanes which offer plenty of bandwidth & faster storage.
This will help games have quicker loading times, a snappier operating system and an overall boost in performance. Plus its a good future investment for gamers.
1. More mobile gaming
2. More at night after the kids sleep.
3. No, who has time with young kids lol?
8 core CPU. I need an desktop replacement, and this’ll fit the bill.
1. I played a bit more in the past year or so.
2. I played more in the evening and night time in the past year.
3. In the past year I’ve been playing a lot online with friends from other places so we can chat while we play and keep in touch.
The turbo boost tech of the H processor should make this great for video games.
My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor would be the faster processor because it allows for multi-task performance.
Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years; About the same.
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year;
At night.
Do I connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most? No
1. I think I played less as I’m working more with working from home option (always work past 5pm).
2. However, with working from home – I get to destress by being able to disconnect from work and play during the day. So I think I’m playing late morning or afternoon more.
3. Yes I do sometimes. I have some online groups I joined so everytime I log on to play online I would have a team I could join and play with. We don’t really talk too much but just random topics or about gaming strategies.
Excited about Intel’s Turbo Boost Technology, my current processor always lags at crucial moments – hope this won’t fail me at key gaming moments.
1. I’ve played a bit more this year, mainly because of lockdown and not being able to do much else. 2 I mostly play in the evening, I play lots at night as well, but I just usually play with my friends after supper. 3. I pretty much only play online, and when I communicate with others, we are usually talking about the game we are playing and call outs and such, but we also talk about sports, real life events and also joke around from time to time

Early morning, and late nights for me.

I do. Mostly about the game we are playing but have talked about where we are from & how life is in our areas
The overclocking beyond 5Ghz will generate faster gaming experience to keep up with my super human speed & skill
1. I gamed about the same, which is not too much because I have a toddler and a newborn. Still a nice way to unwind.
2. Haha really whenever I get a chance to when they’re sleeping and I don’t have to clean up the house! But mostly in the evenings is when I game.
3. The pandemic has actually made me reach out to a few friends to regularly game together. What we talk about depends on the friend. With one we just keep it casual and make fun of each other’s playing. Another we have deep life chats while playing Minecraft. It’s been a great social outlet during lockdowns.
Great question to reflect on – thanks bloggers!
