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 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.
J’aime la performance et la rapidité. Merci
I played less this year than previously, as I work in a microbiology lab doing COVID testing and have been pulling a lot of overtime.
Generally I still squeeze in a bit of casual gaming throughout the day, but I usually play more at night.
I’ve been discussing with my friends online about getting a new PC to get back into more gaming as testing has slowed down a little, and possibly getting into streaming. We also discuss the pros and cons of building my own PC vs getting a prebuilt PC (I really don’t feel like I have the time), and new and upcoming games.
What I like about the new Intel H45 processor is how compact it is. My last laptop wasn’t a gaming laptop and as a result I was very limited in what games I could play. A more compact processor of this power makes it portable but still able to keep up with modern games.
I played more this year , mostly at night, and I like connecting with other players to discuss gaming and shortcuts.
The lower power consumption is what interests me most!
I play more games over this past years and I play games more on afternoon. I play alone over this past year because we dont have stable wifi connection and my laptop is suck
My favorite feature in Intel H45 is that You get 8 core CPUs, higher clock speeds, and lower power consumption it will help my Gaming experience because my game will run smoother
I play more games over this past years and I play games more on afternoon. I play alone over this past year because we dont have stable wifi connection and my laptop is suck
I like the faster processing.
I would like to experience the Intel Iris Xe graphics and the Hydro Boost technology
I played more than I usually have over the last 2 years due to the advancement of streaming and learning new tricks.
I typically would game at night when everyone else in the house is sleeping
We tend to talk about the game with other gamers and discuss what’s coming out in newer games 2022
I played games more frequently over this past year compared to previous years.
I game mostly at night over the past year.
I do connect with other gamers online mainly to share strategies.
My favourite feature is the Turbo Boost Technology which will definitely help make my gaming better because of its much faster processing
Three things about my recent gaming experiences:
1) I played games more frequently over this past year compared to previous years.
2) I gamed more in the night over the past year.
3) I do connect with gamers online and I think I enjoy just talking about the game, current events or just what’s going on in their lives outside of gaming.
My favorite feature is overclocking beyond 5 Ghz which will help with smoother framerate, less micro stutter, while gaming.
1. Definitely less, haven’t had nearly as much time too
2. Mornings and afternoon for me. Used to be a night gamer until i went outside and touched some grass
3. I connect with my friends mainly through online games so we chat about all sorts of stuff just catching up with eachother
The speed optimizer has to be the main thing for me. Im not the best at overclocking so an easy way to squeeze out all the performance i can from my system is a must!
1. I play about the same frequency as in past years.
2. I play mostly at night.
3. Yes, pretty much anything really. Topics in the news, general life things, etc… We also enjoy talking about making our own games too.
Being a designer and a gamer, I love that the new intel H45 processor was built for both gaming and performance in mind. I run heavy graphics applications so I need strong processing power, and I love playing all types of games. I would love to be able to do all that on the go without affecting my productivity and speed. I think the H45 would be great for me!
I think the Intel H45 processor is going to be great for me because it’s a really fast cpu and It’s good for me because I open a lot of background apps. I think this is the fastest, most powerful Processor In the world right now
I play in the morning the most, and sometimes the afternoon
1. I’ve played more then other year
2. My gaming experience has not gone well, 1, I ended up overheating my PC, 2, I bought a new one but its way more laggy then the other one, 3, I can only play minecraft on it (I tried other games I play but they don’t meet any of the system requirements)
3. I have on minecraft, I have joined many servers and enjoyed talking about how many FPS or what PC they have
1. I played games less frequently (a girlfriend now)
2. I game mostly in the night these days
3. Yes I love love love online gaming
Did you play games more or less frequently over this past year compared to previous years- I have been gaming around the same amount these past years! I love to game to ease a stressful day or I game to have some fun!
Did you game more in the morning, afternoon, or at night over the past year- I love gaming more so in the evening because it’s a calming mechanism, it’s a way to wind down for bedtime and it’s a way to have some fun after a long day!
Do you connect with other gamers online and if so what topic do you enjoy talking about the most- I do game with others here and there but I don’t interact
I love the turbo boost technology that will make gaming better and fast!
Hi it’s me again. My favourite feature of the Intel H45 processor is its 10nm microarchitecture because it was created for applications that demand high-end processing. This unique feature will inevitably improve my gaming experience because I, essentially, multi-task by being on voice calls, streams, and more while playing games. So the fact that this processor can potentially handle all of that while I’m over here gaming like I’m not using any RAM is ridiculously impressive. Well done intel!
1. I played games less frequently this past year in comparison to previous years due to the fact that my PC broke down as it couldn’t handle my frequent multitasking and hardcore gaming moments consistently.
2. When compared to previous years of gaming, I often found myself gaming more in the afternoon since I made online friends that live in various time zones, therefore, afternoon gaming in my region is usually when most of them are up and ready.
3. I do indeed connect with various gamers online since we all share similar interests which can be quite difficult to find outside the online community. In my case, when I play a game and make a friend with another fellow gamer, we connect with each other through discord and plan times where both of us can introduce each other to our friends and enjoy and play games as a community.
I’ve played games less frequently than other years.
Generally, I’ve gamed at night, after my kid is asleep!
I don’t connect with other gamers online.
My favourite feature is the lower power consumption… more gaming, less guilt!
1. I have been playing more this past year thanks to no commuting due to “Work From Home”
2. I play in the evenings and weekends after work.
3. I play mostly single player games so I don’t really connect with others online.
I like the new integrated Intel Iris XE graphics of the Intel H45 processor.
1. I played games les frequently compared to previous years as I don’t have a laptop.
2. I game in the evening if I can get time on our desktop.( only one computer )
3. No, don’t connect with others very often
The power of the H45 processor should be a real game changer.
I played games less frequently recently as I believe my pc is old and doesn’t give me the good experience. I am an owl 🙂 and I usually play at night. I prefer to play single-player games and therefore, I usually prefer to be offline when I do gaming.
I think higher clock speed of H45 processor can really improve the experience for heavy games.
As a gamer myself I think I’m pretty good at everything. I play on a laptop. I stream as a hobby and make contents so I can get big and make better contents. I really don’t want to complain because there are other people who can’t even get a pc, but games on my laptop are unplayable. I usually put the settings to the lowest and do all the fps boost tips from youtube, but it’s still unplayable my frame drops to 1 every 2 second and the textures don’t load. Thanks for reading this
The amount of games I played is about the same when compared to 2019 and 2020. I mostly game at night. I rarely interacted with others online, but we mostly talked about stuff related to the game we were playing, like updates and games similar to it.
I love the sheer power that the H45 processor has, and it’s ability to multitask much better than other processors.
The lower power consumption is a great feature on the H45!
I played a lot more games the past year. What else is there to do in your downtime during lockdown?
I used to be more of a night gamer, but that all changed with COVID. Now it’s all throughout the day whenever I’ve finished my work (flexible hours and not many available projects).
I don’t really connect to other people online except in-game and then it’s only talk about what we’re doing in the actual game. But I mostly just connect through a LAN connection or when playing MMORPGs. Topics would be more along the lines of “all your base belong to us” and “Leeeeeeeroy Jenkiiiiins”.
My favourite feature is that you get the same capacity of a big, clunky desktop computer in a compacter format. Needing to upgrade said clunky desktop, the H45 processor that gives the boost right when I need that extra bit of oomph, along witht the Irix Xe graphics would be such a… game-changer *nudge nudge wink wink*
i play wow every day love it love to have super good graphics and sound
sorry need to add more info i usually play alone and enjoy the game it fills my time
The H45 processor processing power – I can multi-task
I played games more frequently this past year than compared to other years. I gamed more at nigh this past year. I did not connect with other gamers online.
1- Definitely played more over the last year
2- I’d say more in the evening
3- Didn’t really connect more, stayed to couch co-op or single player
The speed and lag reduction should really make things a lot smoother.
1. I played WAY more games in the last year! My work-life balance shifted completely and I took advantage of it well.
2. I played much more at night. I used to be in hospitality so I would work nights constantly.
3. I like to chat with other gamers about strategy and hear everyone’s different opinions on how to play the game we’re playing.
My favourite thing about the gen H processors is the physical design, and how you don’t have to compromise size for performance.
the improved Iris Xe graphics and the Hydro Boost technology sounds amazing.
