AMD just got schooled by this new Intel gaming CPU for Steam Deck rivals

There’s an Intel gaming CPU for handhelds with performance that now smashes its AMD counterparts, according to new benchmark data. A recent review of the MSI Claw 8 AI+ led Intel to work with the reviewer, pointing them to improved power settings that, once the tests were rerun, resulted in an improvement of over 30% in some games, with frame rates that beat every AMD handheld the site had tested.

This isn’t the first time that this MSI handheld has shown off the potential of its Intel gaming CPU. A recent MSI Claw benchmark leak showed the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V offering seriously competitive performance in its 30W power mode, although this new test shows even better results. Our best handheld guide is littered with AMD options, but a seriously powerful Intel contender makes for exciting competition.
