I wonder how close the leaked .dll files where people have been manually getting fsr4 to work on pre-rdna4 hardware are now compared to dlss4/4.5.

Apparently, there's been quite a few improvements recently.

Meh, Nvidia have a huge partnership with Palantir who are one of the biggest enablers of all these wars in middle east. Not to mention are the main ones behind all this surveillance tech.

There can be no greater waste of money than supporting a company like this.

A gaming handheld device that can't do hardware ML, DLSS-like, quality upscaling, because it doesn't have RDNA4 iGPU architecture. Way to waste ur money.

There's something seriously wrong with you if you don't think that 56% higher battery life (your own measurements) while gaming on a handheld is important... It's even better under Linux, something the Intel version can't compete with...

Intel's Lunar Lake is still the better choice. It feels as if Intel deliberately made that CPU for handhelds in mind. After all, the Claw 8 AI+ is a huge improvement over the OG Claw with the laughably inefficient Meteor Lake CPU.

There are those who always stream their gameplay online.

For a handheld like this, battery life and short session performance matter a lot. Strategy games such as Clash of Clans work well on portable devices because you can manage upgrades, plan attacks, and play in quick bursts without needing long gaming sessions. I've been using guides from getclashofclans.com
to optimize gameplay on smaller screens, which makes handheld gaming more practical overall.

The comparison feels fair, especially the criticism around ergonomics and power profiles. On gaming handhelds, comfort and efficient tuning often impact real-world play more than small GPU differences, so losing RAM at the same price is a downside. For retro and emulation-focused users, balance matters even more, since BIOS compatibility and performance tuning play a big role in handheld gaming setups—something I've run into often while testing emulators alongside resources like ps2biosonline.com

In addition to the Claw 8 AI+ gaming handheld with an Intel processor, MSI is now also offering a variant with an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme. Apart from the processor, the Claw A8 also gets a new case. The RRP is again 999 euros, but the ergonomics are inferior.
