MSI plans to release a new version of its Claw gaming handheld using AMD technology instead of Intel chips. Reports suggest the company will switch to a Ryzen Z2 AI Extreme processor for better gaming performance. The previous MSI Claw 8 AI+ used Intel Core Ultra chips but failed to gain much market share against competitors.
Multiple sources confirmed MSI might abandon Intel exclusivity. The rumored AMD chip brings eight cores, sixteen threads with speeds up to 5.0 GHz. It includes a sixteen-core graphics unit based on RDNA 3.5 architecture. This represents a significant upgrade over current models. MSI appears motivated to change suppliers because the AMD option delivers superior gaming results.
The company first entered the handheld market recently with its Intel partnership. Nothing official confirms these changes, but industry watchers note that AMD dominates most portable gaming devices today. Manufacturers seem attracted to AMD solutions for their gaming capabilities. The shift indicates that AMD keeps winning market share from competitors in the portable gaming space.
