MSI describes the Claw 8 EX AI Plus as being the \u201cworld\u2019s first\u201d handheld to contain the recently announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/938692\/intel-arc-g3-extreme-handheld-gaming\">Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor<\/a>, which features an array of Xe3 GPU cores to run games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">We should note that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2182504\/the-acer-predator-atlas-8-is-one-of-the-first-handhelds-to-feature-intel-s-latest-arc-g3-chips\/\">Acer Predator Atlas 8<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/en\/projects\/one-netbook\/onexplayer-3-next-gen-3-in-1-ai-gaming-and-productivity-handheld\">OneXPlayer 3<\/a> gaming handhelds are also expected to launch with these chips, but MSI may be the first out of the gate. The Claw 8 EX AI Plus also has a single NVME M.2 SSD slot for gaming and data storage, and supports up to 32GB of dual-channel LPDDR5x memory, though MSI hasn\u2019t specified whatRAM configurations will be available.

It also has a new chassis design with updated grips that aim to be more comfortable during long gaming sessions, alongside Hall-Effect triggers and sticks that offer more precise control. MSI says a new high-end linear motor has been introduced for faster and improved haptic feedback and \u201cimproved power efficiency\u201d \u2014 though it didn\u2019t mention how long you can expect the battery to last.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Only one color option seems to be available, which MSI describes as \u201cVoid Purple.\u201d We\u2019ll have to wait and see how it fares for actual gaming performance, but it can\u2019t be worse than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24105991\/msi-claw-review\">MSI\u2019s disastrous first attempt<\/a> at delivering a powerful gaming handheld.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/entertainment\/939758\/msi-claw-8-ex-ai-plus-gaming-handheld-reveal-computex-2026\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MSI has unveiled a new Claw 8 handheld gaming PC ahead of the Computex 2026 show, and this model swaps out its predecessors\u2019 Intel Lunar Lake mobile chip for a specialized handheld processor.
