Gaming, in the last few decades, has become a major phenomenon. Agree or not, all of us have tried our hands at gaming at some point or the other. In fact, It has risen from being a recreational activity to a serious career option.
No matter what type of gamer you are, you will agree that the equipment you use plays a major role in determining your gaming expertise. Thus, when investing in a new laptop, look for things under the hood such as fast processors, efficient thermals, sharp display, and powerful graphics in order to zero in on that perfect gaming laptop for your needs. Opting for the latest generation processors can also be a great advantage in terms of performance, power efficiency and connectivity. Sounds overwhelming, doesn't it?
Fret not! We have browsed through a sea of gaming laptops and have sorted some of the best Intel-powered laptops that you can pick from. But before we hop in, let's sort the processor puzzle out, once and for all!
Check the generation (Gen) and series to pick the right processor
Choosing the latest generation of processors ensures you get the latest technology on offer. And the right processor series further nails the performance spec for the processor to ensure a perfect match. The Intel 12th Gen processors are fully equipped to handle the needs of even the most demanding of gamers. The latest 12th-generation Core i5, i7, and i9 processors enable a responsive experience and support cutting-edge connectivity options. The coolest thing about these is the new Performance Hybrid Architecture that combines Performance (P) and Efficiency (E) cores. The P-cores maximize single-thread performance and give these processors an edge when it comes to executing demanding tasks like content creation, editing, streaming and gaming. The E-cores are remarkably power-efficient and handle lighter workloads like chatting, browning, etc. and persistent background activity.
Also, you should prefer the Intel Core Processors that have ‘H’ in the end as the H-series processors effectively team up with discrete GPUs to deliver a smooth experience in AAA games.
