MSI claims its new Claw can beat the ROG Ally X while consuming fewer watts.

Could the MSI Claw 8 AI Plus salvage Intel and MSI’s gaming handheld reputation? Well, MSI now claims its handheld averages 7 percent faster than its chief rival at far less power, or 20 percent faster at the same 17 watts.

Lots of YouTubers just got to try the new handheld, but haven’t validated that claim quite yet.
