Intel will be teaming up with over 30 of its partners for the Intel Gamer Days event. Running for 16 consecutive days starting on September 1st, gamers can expect exclusive discounts on the best gaming hardware the industry has to offer. In addition to awesome savings, various partners will also be holding fun contests for giveaways and prizes. Winnings range from performance PC components to event tickets and all-expense-paid VIP trips to worldwide Intel Extreme Masters events. Contests will be held daily, so be sure to check in often to maximize your chances to win.
If your rig is struggling to keep pace with the games you want to play, this is a great time to upgrade. Many games today take advantage of more than two cores. In addition, multitasking is more important than ever before; we tend to have a ton of applications running in the background while we game. As such, it’s critical for your processor to have enough resource to handle them all without chipping off the frame rate. If you’re the owner of a dual-core, or even a quad-core processor, it’s time to upgrade to 8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors.
There are good reasons why Intel’s processors are so loved by gaming rigs. Their outstanding blend of performance, efficiency, and value brings jaw-dropping entertainment experiences to gamers of all levels. Whether you’re a PC enthusiast who tinkers and overclocks her own rig, or just someone looking to grab a solid system off the shelf for easy setup, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for in the sale.
During the Intel Gamer Days event, Intel and its partners have lowered prices on their popular hardware and components, making it a great time for gamers to buy, build or upgrade your gaming PC. You’ll find deals on high-performance Intel® Core™ i7 and i9 series desktop processors, as well as heavy discounts on gaming desktops from top-tier brands like ASUS, Acer, Dell, MSI, and many others. Since many system manufacturers offer flexible customization options for their rigs, I strongly recommend selecting the 6-core Intel Core i7-8700K for most gamers. Those who demand even more multithreaded performance should opt for the 8-core Intel Core i7-7820X or beyond.
Intel Gamer Days also bring healthy savings for those looking for a mobile gaming experience. You’ll find great deals on laptops equipped with Intel’s powerful and efficient mobile processors. With the Intel H and HQ series mobile processors, gamers can enjoy buttery smooth frame rates at higher fidelity with thinner, more compact machines.
Whatever your system needs may be, you’ll find it all and more throughout the Intel Gamer Days event. Keep your eyes peeled for great deals on standalone Intel processors and devices that leverage their prowess. If you’re craving to elevate your gaming experience with a new gaming laptop, desktop, a custom PC, or looking to breathe new life into your current rig with a new processor, then there’s no better time to purchase.
