The world of handheld consoles is about to take a generational leap with the arrival of the Intel Lunar Lake processor. The MSI Claw 8 AI Plus is the first console to feature this powerful chip, promising an unprecedented gaming experience.
Presented at Computex 2024 in Taipei, the MSI Claw 8 AI Plus not only stands out for its processor, but also for a series of significant improvements over its previous version, the MSI Claw A1M or the Steam Deck , competing strongly with the ASUS ROG Ally X .
Let's see what these updates are about.
An unprecedented processor: Intel Lunar Lake at the forefront
The heart of the MSI Claw 8 AI Plus is the Intel Lunar Lake processor, a next-generation chip that promises up to 50% better graphics performance than its predecessor, Meteor Lake.
This leap in power translates into a smooth, lag-free gaming experience, even in the most demanding titles. Furthermore, Lunar Lake also offers greater power efficiency, which contributes to the console's improved battery life.
The improvements of the MSI Claw 8 AI Plus compared to its predecessor
Bigger screen
The display has been enlarged from 7 to 8 inches, maintaining the FHD resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. This combination offers a crisp and fluid visual experience, perfect for enjoying your favorite games anywhere. The larger screen also allows for better detail viewing and greater comfort for extended gaming.
Extended autonomy:
The battery is now 80 Wh, which is a significant leap compared to the previous version's small capacity. This is the largest battery on the market for this type of console. With this battery, you can enjoy hours of gameplay without having to worry about running out of charge. The console also features fast-charging technology, so you can get back into the action in no time.
Optimized performance:
Faster RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD have been included for smoother overall performance and reduced load times. This combination will allow you to enjoy a fluid gameplay experience without long load times. The faster RAM also allows the console to multitask seamlessly.
Improved controls:
The buttons and triggers offer more precise and ergonomic feedback, while connectivity has been improved with more USB Type-C ports with Thunderbolt support. This will allow you to connect a wide variety of external devices, such as keyboards, mice, or external displays.
