Intel thus provides the gaming community, from novice to expert, with an overall overview of the world of computer games.
“Mobile Gaming” – Fully on trend
Gamers nowadays place high value on intense gaming experiences that they want to share with their friends. That is why “Mobile Gaming,” meaning playing computer games on a notebook, is becoming increasingly popular. Thanks to the Intel Core2 Extreme notebook processors, the world’s most powerful microprocessors for notebooks, the latest generation of games also offers flawless gaming enjoyment on a laptop. Intel Advanced Media Boost, for example, supports the display of graphically extremely demanding games. With the requirements of gamers in mind, the multiplier lock (overclocking protection) was deliberately omitted. Users and manufacturers can thus get even more performance out of notebooks³. Notebook-optimized games such as “World in Conflict” display the battery level and throttle the frame rates in the game to save energy. For gaming fans, the notebook has finally become a real alternative.
