Total consumer spending for PC gaming hardware and accessories is up 62% from 20194, highlighting the desire people are having to making PC gaming a bigger part of their lives.
From our partners:
“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 temperature5 while also running 5% quieter6 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 Power7 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 Spy8 and up to a 36% increase in CPU performance910 over last year’s model.
Extreme Performance: Stunning graphics bring the newest titles to life with up to an NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3070 Ti Laptop GPU and the latest MAX Q technologies or AMD Ryzen™ RX 6650M. Clear levels faster than ever with up to an Intel® Core™ i9-12900H series processor10 or AMD Ryzen™ 9 6900HX Mobile Processors11. 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 QHD12 165Hz IPS panel with 3ms response time13 and 100% sRGB. Experience low blue light with Eyesafe® display certification14 by TÜVRheinlan and an auto brightness sensor that work to keep eyes fresh during the grandest of adventures. The bright visuals continue on the keyboard with up to per-key RGB lighting with OMEN Gaming Hub Light Studio integration to achieve a look that is on point with any gaming setup theme.

New OMEN 16 configuration with Intel Core i7-12700H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB RAM. 2021 OMEN 16 configuration with Intel Core i7-11800H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB RAM. 2022 OMEN 16 GPU hinge top 43.2’C/ SSD bottom 36.1’C; 2021 OMEN 16 GPU hinge top: 44.5’C/ SSD bottom 42.1’C.
6 Based on HP Internal Testing in April 2022 comparison between the new OMEN 16 and 2021 OMEN 16. New OMEN 16 configuration with Intel Core i7-12700H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB RAM. 2021 OMEN 16 configuration with Intel Core i7-11800H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB RAM. 2022 OMEN 16 balanced mode (CPU 35W+ GPU 80W) 40 dBA; 2021 OMEN 16 balanced mode (CPU 35W+ GPU 80W) 42 dBA.
7 Both modes 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.
