In the world of handheld consoles, MSI Claw is a renowned name. Despite the dominance of Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, PS Portal, Asus ROG Ally, and many more, this Windows based handheld gaming device has held firm in the console market.
Now it seems MSI is looking to carry forward its legacy to a whole new level as the company has recently revealed the latest Claw A8 BZ2EM handheld gaming PC at Computex 2025. This recently announced system is jam-packed with impressive specs, which has made the gaming community go frenzy over it.
The all new MSI Claw A8 is now revealed
The recently revealed handheld console is going to be the first leap ever by MSI from Intel-based chips to AMD-powered processors. The MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM is going to feature a custom made AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, which is designed specifically for handheld gaming.
The main highlight of this processor is its insane power efficiency, which is obviously needed for a handheld device. Not only that, this chip keeps the console a lot cooler, which is again an important aspect for a handheld gaming PC.
Now coming to the GPU, the MSI Claw A8 will boast a Radeon 890M graphic card, which is obviously a part of AMD's APU. The GPU is based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture with 16 computing units, which is best in this segment in terms of visual performance. Keeping in mind the capability of this APU, this upcoming system is supposed to run modern AAA titles at 1080p with ease.
With an 8-inch full HD (1920x1080) 120Hz touchscreen display, this console will have up to 24 GB of DDR5 RAM along with up to 1 TB of M.2 SSD. However, the most exciting feature has to be its 80Wh battery which is massive for a handheld console. Steam Deck, which is one of the most popular handheld gaming devices in the market right now, has a 40Wh battery. So, in Claw A8, it’s double.
Despite revealing so much information, MSI is yet to disclose the release date and price details of this highly promising handheld gaming device. Looking at the price of the currently available Claw 8 AI Plus, which is priced at $999.99, the Claw A8 is believed to priced in that similar range.
