It’s time to do good business! Over the coming days, Rue du Commerce invites you to discover a selection of HP gaming PCs equipped with AMD with great discounts.
Intel or AMD? This question comes up every time you have to build or buy a PC, especially if you want a gaming machine. The rivalry between the two founders, which has lasted for decades now, remains alive and often to the advantage of ‘Intel, which offers the most powerful processors on the market in each generation. But more powerful does not necessarily mean more interesting.
For a few years now, AMD has been offering processors with very convincing performance for video games. Models capable of withstanding the comparison with most of the models of the competition, while benefiting from a price positioning much more accessible. A significant advantage, which can weigh very heavily when choosing a new PC. Less expensive than their Intel counterparts, AMD machines are currently benefiting from an additional discount at Rue du Commerce, with a selection of HP gaming laptops.
Why choose a gaming PC equipped with an AMD processor?
Besides the price, AMD processors are interesting in many respects as part of a configuration dedicated to gaming. For starters, AMD CPUs are often more efficient. At equal performance, they generally consume less energy, which is far from trivial when playing on a laptop.
These are also processors with good processing power, especially for anything related to multitasking. An interesting point if you decide to stream your games, or if you also want to use your PC for graphic design or video editing.
Another advantage of AMD processors: their great compatibility. Their architecture, less complicated than that of their counterparts from Intel, allows them to operate on a wider variety of machines and configurations without any problems. A latest generation AMD gaming PC will not necessarily need to run Windows 11, be PCIe 5.0 compatible or DDR5 RAM to be efficient.
A dynamic that we find at the level of the games. Some titles may have issues launching on a machine with an Intel Alder Lake CPU. This will not happen with an AMD CPU, including the latest generation.
HP Omen 16: a solid gaming machine in every way
If you are looking for a laptop to try out the latest titles in the best conditions, the Omen range is for you. From the technical sheet to the screen, including the cooling system, these machines have been designed to offer you a fluid and smooth experience in game. Among them, the HP Omen 16 is particularly illustrated.
With a sober design (which is still quite rare for a gaming laptop), this HP Omen 16 stands out thanks to a very beautiful 16-inch QHD (2560p) IPS screen. With a refresh rate of 165 Hz on the counter, it ensures a nice fluidity in game, an advantage when playing competitive titles for example.
The technical sheet for its part is based on an AMD duo that works at full capacity. On one side is the Ryzen 7 6800H. On the other, a Radeon RX 6650M, which holds a candle to a mobile RTX 3060. Add to that 32 GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz and a 1 TB SSD, and you get a configuration capable of running your games in QHD without blowing.
HP has thought of everything and has equipped its PC with a wide range of connections to deal with all eventualities (3 USB Type-A SuperSpeed ports, an Ethernet port, a card reader). Usually offered at 1,699 euros, the HP Omen 16 is currently offered by Rue du Commerce with a 24% reduction which brings it down to 1,299 euros.
HP Victus 15: a completely honest entry-level
The HP Victus 15, for its part, is positioned as a more modest machine, but also much more affordable with a promotional price below 800 euros. On the configuration side, we find here a Ryzen 7 5800 coupled with a GeForce RTX 3050. 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage complete the package, for completely honest performance, provided you do not push the graphics settings too much. Tops.
On the equipment side, HP did not go to the economy. Here we find a Widevision 720p noise reduction webcam and two Bang & Olufsen speakers. An Ethernet port, an SD card reader, an HDMI 2.1 port, two USB type-A SuperSpeed ports and a SUB Type-C SuperSpeed port guarantee great versatility to this PC.
Finally, HP has opted here for a screen that goes to the essentials, without compromising on quality. We find there a 15-inch IPS panel, with a definition of 1920 by 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. A choice that relies on efficiency to offer a fluid experience in game.
Right now, Rue du Commerce invites you to discover the HP Victus 15 at 799 euros instead of 1,099 euros in normal times, a reduction of 27% compared to its initial price.
