Intel Gamer Days — Big Savings on Intel-Powered Gear

Play Faster, Create Smarter

Intel Gamer Days is your window to upgrade with limited-time deals on processors, gaming laptops/desktops, and creator essentials. Match a modern Intel® Core™ CPU with fast DDR5 memory, a feature-rich motherboard, and efficient cooling to unlock high, stable FPS and smooth streaming. Whether you chase 240Hz esports or 4K cinematic visuals, you can build a rig that fits your target frame rate, budget, and workflow.

Pick the Right Intel Platform

CPU tiers: Core i9, Ultra 9 Arrow Lake for top-end 4K and heavy creation, Core i7 for balanced 1440p/4K, Core i5 for value 1080p/1440p.
Chipsets: Choose Z890 when you need maximum expansion (more chipset PCIe, additional high-speed USB, more M.2 slots) and deeper CPU/memory tuning; pick B860 when cost efficiency matters and “one GPU + a few NVMe drives” is enough. Exact lane splits and port counts vary by motherboard model—check the board’s spec sheet. For basic/office builds, H810 sits below B860 with the fewest ports and limited tuning
Memory: DDR5 improves 1% lows in CPU-bound titles—check your board’s QVL for proven kits.
Cooling: Choose a capable AIO or premium air cooler to sustain boost clocks during long sessions.

Performance tip:Use an LGA1851 motherboard, update to the latest BIOS/ME, enable XMP 3.0 so DDR5 runs at its rated speed, keep chipset/graphics/NPU drivers current, and turn on Resizable BAR (with Above 4G Decoding) for best stability and performance.

Quick Build Recipes

1080p Value: Core i5 + mid-range GPU, 16–32GB DDR5, Gen4 NVMe — great for esports and AAA at high settings.
1440p Balanced: Core i7 + performance GPU, 32GB DDR5, larger Gen4 NVMe — ideal for high-refresh gaming and streaming.
4K Creator/Gamer: Core i9 + flagship GPU, 32–64GB DDR5, fast NVMe scratch disk — for editing, encoding, and top-tier visuals.
