Let’s face it: We gamers love exploring new titles, be it games like Cyberpunk 2077 that offer a super compelling storyline, or games like Fall Guys that take the internet by storm. It’s that feeling of being in a world that you control, and interact with your friends in a whole new way. However, reality can often get disappointing when you realise that your laptop doesn’t have what it takes to run these exciting new titles. While this horror story is fairly common, it is also entirely avoidable.

You would think most games would require the same basic hardware formula to run well, but that isn’t necessarily true. Games can be vastly different and have distinct needs from one another based on their genre, mechanics, graphics, etc. While some games might need more storage, others might require better connectivity or higher processing power!

Let’s take for example the latest gaming title that’s running rounds in the Indian Gaming Community - VALORANT. It’s a fast-paced multiplayer where, similar to CS:GO & CoD, every frame counts. The small maps and fast game speeds mean that the slightest delay could mean the difference between legendary wins and total losses, and high FPS & screen refresh rates become an absolute must. Another classic example would be massive open-world games like GTA 5 or Red Dead Redemption 2. With multiple different elements running parallelly, having a system with high clock speeds for an immersive experience becomes a necessity.

While each game comes with it’s own set of demands, one common solution is to look for a system with an Intel 10th Gen Core Processor Inside. Not only can you experience the highest achievable max turbo frequency of 5.3GHz, exceeding all other mobile products available as of April 2020, but Intel 10 Gen powered systems also offer so many other technologies that make the gaming experience more exciting. For example:

Intel Wi-Fi 6 Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) delivers nearly *3X faster Wi-Fi speeds and up to* 75% less latency, along with advanced traffic management, and interference filtering features for remarkable wireless PC gaming
From system startup to application launching, Intel Optane memory is smart technology that personalizes and accelerates your computing experience on Intel Core-based PCs. It learns your most frequently used documents, images, videos, and applications; keeps them handy for quick access; and remembers them—even after powering off the PC
Intel Turbo Boost Technology is an energy-efficient solution that lets the CPU run at its base clock speed when handling light workloads, then jump to a higher clock speed for heavy workloads
Intel Thermal Velocity Boost opportunistically and automatically increases clock frequency by up to 200 MHz if the processor temperature is 65°C or lower and turbo power budget is available

And so much more!

Infact, Intel keeps collaborating with popular game studios to optimize in-game experiences. One such collaboration lately is between Intel and Square Enix’s Crystal Dynamics, where Intel helped develop PC-exclusive Marvel’s Avengers graphics improvements. By optimizing tasks more suited to CPU-based computation, like the physics engine, it allows for more GPU headroom for other tasks. This allows for design-based improvements such as water simulation & armour destruction, which provide a far better, more immersive experience for gamers. Now that we are clear on the benefits an Intel 10th Gen processor brings to the overall gaming experience, here are 6 laptops that you should definitely check out!
