China Joy: Intel Doubles Down On China’s Hardcore PC Gamers

Amid a saturating PC market, Intel is sticking to one of its largest and most loyal user bases: hardcore PC gamers in China.

Intel joined Acer Inc. on Thursday to jointly launch the latter’s latest high-performance gaming laptop, the Predator GX-791. The souped up Predator is equipped with Intel’s i7 processor, a NVIDIA GTX 980 graphics card, and an improved cooling system that lets gamers pump their CPU up to 4.0GHZ.

“The users [of this laptop] are top level gamers,” says Haibo Pan, Senior Business Manager at Acer. “These people are definitely looking for the best overclocking experience.”
