MSI Claw ditches Intel exclusivity, reveals new AMD gaming handheld

MSI has revealed that it's moving away from its Intel-exclusive lineup of gaming handhelds and will now offer models powered by AMD chips. The MSI Claw A8 is powered by the Ryzen Z2 Extreme, but fear not, as Intel-powered Claw models are sticking around, as seen in the new Polar Tempest design.

MSI is making a huge push to release the best gaming handheld possible, now hedging its bets across both AMD and Intel-powered devices. Rumors of this move came to light last week, but there was no confirmation of which CPU would feature in the new handheld. However, we now know that the Ryzen Z2 Extreme powers the Claw A8.
