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

>The AMD version offers no real added value

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...

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.
