MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ Review - Impressive Intel performance, but RM7,299 is painful
Quelle: Tech Nave

After taking some time thinking about this Claw model, it feels like a much more serious attempt from MSI to establish itself in the gaming space. Thanks to the combination of Intel Arc G3 Extreme, XeSS 3, Multi-Frame Generation and an 80Wh battery, I think both Intel and MSI are approaching this from an efficiency perspective rather than simply trying to go "power-crazy".

The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is a device of extreme highs and frustrating lows. On the hardware front, the new Intel Arc G3 Extreme APU is an absolute marvel. It intelligently balances power between the CPU and the new B390 GPU, allowing us to run Cyberpunk 2077 on the High preset at 80fps using Performance XeSS upscaling. While this miraculously solved the sleep issues and standby battery drain, the Intel Arc G3 Extreme platform is simply too new.

Honestly, the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ has changed what I believed a handheld console is capable of.

After spending time with the Claw 8 EX AI+, I think MSI and Intel have finally delivered the handheld that the original Claw was trying to be.

The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ goes from a doubtful underdog to a top-tier handheld contender.

MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ review: the handheld PC that finally makes sense to a console gamer

PC gaming has always been a little different. For many people, the tweaking is part of the fun: finding the perfect settings, balancing frame rates and image quality, getting older games running on newer hardware, but I’ve often found myself wondering why I’m spending so much time preparing to play a game rather than actually playing it. That’s where the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ feels like a more interesting proposition than I expected.

After my first experience with Panther Lake and the Xe3 iGPU with the Asus Zenbook DUO, playing with the GPU portion of it in a handheld is a handheld aficionado’s wet dream.

Whatever the case, though, it is clear that Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme chipset has given MSI the long-awaited victory lap it wanted, especially after its disastrous start with the original Claw 7.

MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ Hands-On: This is the evolution I was waiting for
Quelle: 91mobiles EN→DE
Of course, I’ll reserve my final verdict for a full review. A few hours on a crowded Computex show floor can only reveal so much about battery life, sustained thermals, software stability, and long-term performance. But as far as first impressions go, the Claw 8 EX AI+ couldn’t have asked for a better start.

MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ hands-on review: the most powerful gaming handheld in the world
Quelle: The Shortcut EN→DE
The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is the most powerful gaming handheld at Computex and possibly the entire world, and it’s all thanks to Intel’s new Arc G3 Extreme processor. I got to test MSI’s new handheld in Taipei, and it’s a beast that can run Hogwarts Legacy at a steady 60 fps with 1200p medium settings and XeSS supersampling set to balanced. It can also handle 60fps Battlefield 6 at 1200p high with XeSS performance mode.

Intel Arc B390 Panther Lake iGPU: Stärkste iGPU in der Intel Panther Lake SoC Serie mit 12 Xe3 Kernen.
Diese Grafikkarten sollten alle modernen Spiele flüssig darstellen können. Anspruchsvolle Spiele müssen jedoch in mittlerer Detailstufe gespielt werden. Ältere und weniger anspruchsvolle Spiele wie die Sims Serie können auch in hohen Detailsstufen flüssig dargestellt werden.
