Meet the Needs of Mobile Gaming Customers

Today, gamers are likely the most demanding of customers when it comes to laptop purchases. Gamers require best-in-class technology and since there are more gamers today than ever, this opens the door for your sales associates to meet the demands of these customers.

The 9th Gen Intel® Core™ H-series processors address the growing needs of the gaming community. With up to 8 cores and 16 processing threads, these processors are able to run multiple resource-heavy applications at a time.¹ This is perfect for streaming, recording, and gaming.

Cut Loose Creative Customers

Video editors and computer graphics artists are going to find these new Intel® Core™ processors liberating as they use them on-the-go. They can leave their desktops behind and let their creative juices flow to render and edit videos without missing a beat.

Capabilities such as rendering and encoding in the background and exceptionally fast load times of project files and apps create the perfect opportunity for your sales associates to recommend device upgrades to customers.¹

Promoting New Devices Powered by Intel

The technology and performance strides of 9th Gen Intel® Core™ processors can create significant opportunities for your sales team. In the case of these new Intel® Core™ H-series processors, sales associates should be aware of:

Consumer demographics – The United States is slated to overtake China this year as the world’s largest gaming market by revenue. It is projected that the U.S. gamers market will generate almost $37 billion this year alone.
