HP Inc. today revealed its newest gaming hardware and software
created for gamers everywhere with the thermally innovative OMEN 16
Laptop, accessible Victus 15 Laptop, and a variety of powerful
updates to OMEN Gaming Hub to enable elevated gaming experiences
for all.
Gaming continues to permeate throughout the globe and in America
with 76% of the US population playing games an average of 16.5
hours a week in 2021, an increase of 3.8 hours from 20191. Total
consumer spending for PC gaming hardware and accessories is up 62%
from 20192, highlighting the desire people are having to making PC
gaming a bigger part of their lives.
“As people continue to spend more time gaming, they want
hardware and software that will allow them to game longer while
keeping them immersed,” said Josephine Tan, Global Head and General
Manager, Consumer PCs at HP Inc. “These latest additions to HP’s
gaming ecosystem give people of all backgrounds – rookie gamers and
veterans alike – the tools they need to expand their gaming
horizons, now and into the future.”
STAY COOL EVERYWHERE
Seasoned adventurers in gaming crave the latest advancements in
hardware and software that allow them to experience today’s titles
at the best settings, so they feel truly immersed when they clutch
that last-second win or defeat that once impossible boss. This
latest addition to the OMEN ecosystem delivers new experiences that
go beyond the expected to keep gamers connected, entertained, and
excited for what comes next.
Revamped Thermals: Upgrades in the form of an
added fifth heat pipe and fourth outflow vent have additionally
contributed to a -3% GPU hinge and -14% bottom SSD temperature3
while also running 5% quieter4 compared to last gen so gamers can
Zen out and stay fully immersed in their favorite titles.
Processors in Harmony: Cooperating with a
built-in IR thermopile sensor, OMEN Dynamic Power5 within OMEN
Gaming Hub2 can precisely detect real-time CPU and GPU capacity and
dynamically allocate power between the two. This creates extra
headroom and optimizes in-game FPS based on current game activity
to allow the best experience possible in any game. This technology
has contributed up to a 18% performance increase in 3D Mark Time
Spy6 and up to a 36% increase in CPU performance710 over last
year’s model.

Processors9. Avoid untimely memory bottlenecks with up to 32GB DDR5
4800 MHz and take advantage of speedy access to vital files with up
to 2TB PCIe Gen4x4 SSD.
Immersive Visuals: Action on the screen flows
brilliantly across the up to QHD10 165Hz IPS panel with 3ms
response time11 and 100% sRGB. Experience low blue light with
Eyesafe® display certification12 by TÜVRheinlan and an auto

integration to achieve a look that is on point with any gaming
setup theme.

are supported to calibrate the best and balanced power state. When
CPU is less intensive, GPU can take advantage of CPU idle power and
increase GPU TGP by NVIDIA Dynamic Boost 2.0. When CPU gets more
stressed, OMEN Dynamic power will kick in to allocate power budget
to CPU. With this we see a collaborative working model detecting
the status of power need.6 All performance specifications represent
