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.

  1. What a chance to win an amazing laptop with so much processing power. The intel H45 processor powered laptops will have the power usually only found in a bulky desktop configuration, so you now would be able to do what others do on a huge desktop. On top of that, the resolution and other aspects of the laptop will offer amazing experiences. Way to go Intel and way to go Best Buy for promoting this great solution

    3. I don’t connect with other gamers online.

  5. The new H45 processor combines the most important features of a mobile gaming processor, as far as I’m concerned – improved processing speeds and lower power consumption. I’m excited to replace my laptop and desktop with a single system that can provide both the power I want at my desk and the portability I want when I’m away from it!

  6. My favorite feature is the 8 cores. It beats the AMD Athlon P340 Dual-Core that I currently have. It means I will be able to play games that requires plenty of CPU that I cannot play on my current system.

  9. 1. I played more games than previous years
    2. I try to play in the afternoon, because I play moba there is no one online in the morning. The internet is not decent in the evening, however, more players online in the evening
    3. I would chat with others online sometimes about the game, since league of legends is a teamwork game

  10. 1. more frequently over this past year compared to previous years
    2. more in the morning
    3. I do not connect with anyone online

  12. Less frequently. Life happens, have to juggle between work and school and family.
    Night
    Yes. Mostly how grindy games are these days and pokemon.

  14. Compared to past years, I’ve definitely been playing way more video games as it kills my free time in a nice efficient way.

    I usually play in the afternoon, but depending on circumstance, I can play in the morning or in the evening.

    I also definitely connect with other gamers online. We tend to talk about what is currently happening in our match. But sometimes we do ask about things that happen in our lives daily. Etc.!!

  15. I played games less frequently over this past year compared to previous years as I tried to build a lot my exercise into my day.
    I gamed more at night over the past year
    I don’t connect with other gamers online

  17. 1. Play games the same as previous years.
    2. Game more at night over the past year.
    3. Yes I connect with gamers online, enjoy talking about the games or strategies.

  18. 1. I played games more frequently this past year than before.
    2. I played only at night after I was finished working.
    3. I don’t connect with other gamers as I only play single player games.

  19. My favourite feature of the new Intel H45 processor is the 4K resolution @ 120FPS. Definitely going to be a game changer for gaming – would increase my response time and make it visually fun to play.

  20. My favourite feature of the H45 is the fact that you can get a powerful processor and not have to get a bulky laptop. This will help me to be able to play the latest games anywhere I want without having to carry a heavy laptop around.

  23. I play less these days (I still game but I used to game way more). I mostly game at night. And I occasionally connect with other gamers to discuss technique and gameplay strategy so I can get better as I prefer competitive online gaming.

  24. The new Intel H45 processor will help me play more demanding and recent games by making the graphics better and with less lag hopefully!

  25. I feel like I have played games more frequently in the past year, due to the closing of my school and the desire to participate in more social events, even though now I participate online rather than in-person. I definitely play games more at night and into the early hours of the morning, as this accommodates my school schedule better. Playing later has also allowed me to connect more with some new American friends on the west coast, and I’ve enjoyed virtually meeting all the people I ordinarily wouldn’t have the opportunity to. I have met a lot of new people in the past year, and the topic we usually discuss (and how we found each other) is participating in racing games and discussing real-life racing series through online forums and Discord servers. The move online has allowed me to pursue my passions more and connect with others who have the same interests.

  26. I really appreciate the Intel H45 processors moving towards an 8 core architecture, and the fact that they have moved to a 10nm manufacturing process is a testament to the commitment to improve performance in mobile chips. I also really like the Turbo Boost technology, as it allows you to have a fast and performant computer while gaming but also a quiet and energy-conscious computer for web browsing in the meantime. Iris Xe graphics are super welcome here, and I am looking forward to seeing the advancements Intel can make in the graphics industry, especially when they launch their standalone, gaming-oriented cards in the near future.

  27. 1) I definitely spent more time playing games this past year than compared to other years.
    2) Majority of my gaming was done during the night
    3) Mainly play with friends, so I do not connect with too many other gamers

  28. I love that it offers high processing speeds while still keeping a low power consumption! Perfect for hours of gaming!

  29. Thanks to the lockdowns I’ve gamed way more than usual over the past year, mostly at night, because I love to procrastinate. I mostly only game with friends, non competitively, and our topics are the random stuff of fever dreams.

  30. 1. Definetly played more this year
    2. Night time
    3. Yes and generally just talking about the games we are playing or what is going on in the games

  31. My Favorite feature would have the be the increased and continuous improvement in the multi-threaded workloads that intel continues to supply. The reason it will improve my gaming experience speaks for itself.

  37. The Gen H would be amazing for 120fps. I am currently trudging through at 30fps. Also the lower power consumption and 6 Ghz Intel Wi-Fi 6e would make a huge difference when doing gaming and watching vids at the same time.
    Definitely played more games over the past year.
    I would say I gamed more int eh evening and night.
    I do connect with other gamers. Topics are other games than what we are playing at the time. Also hardware and what people are looking at getting. And movies!

  40. Over the past year I still was able to put in quite a bit of game time but less than previous years.
    I love my morning coffee and gaming but overall I wind up gaming more in the evening as my work schedule lines up that way.
    I definitely connect online with other gamers, enjoy talking and exploring new games together. I’m part of a good discord crew so gaming is always a good time. NAMA

  41. With the change to the 10nM Superfin process the new Intel H45 processor should take a nice step forward to keep up with gaming demands all with lower power consumption. This is my favorite feature of the new H45.

  42. My favorite feature of the Intel 11th Gen H Series is the Intel Iris Xe graphics. As a hobbyist gamer and a part time video editor graphics is a must. The low power consumption is always good when you have family members plugged in daily. Thanks for this incredible giveaway Best Buy and good luck to all. Stay safe everyone!

  43. 1. About the same amount of gaming
    2. Night, after work is done for the day
    3. Mostly planning our gaming sessions, and what new games we’re going to play together next

  44. The 4k resolution at 120 fps will help me not miss my enemies when gaming, as well as longer battery life, will improve my gaming experience because of the new Intel H45

  45. 1. I’m on vacation so I’ve been playing alot in the last couple of weeks.
    2. Usually later in the day. If I start in the morning I won’t do anything healthy all day.
    3. I don’t connect with people much, I play a game pretty casually so there isn’t much discussion required.

  46. My favorite feature of the Intel H45 processor is the lower power consumption. I pay the power bill in my house so lower power consumption is good. I turn the lights off when I leave a room…
