Title: Intel's Arc G3 Extreme changes the handheld game - MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ Review
Post by: Redaktion on June 23, 2026, 15:02:49
MSI's Claw 8 EX AI+ is the first device with Intel's first dedicated handheld SoC Arc G3 Extreme, which features the powerful Arc B390 iGPU. The result is a completely new level of performance, easily beating AMD's dedicated Z2 Extreme handheld chip.

Really appreciate you guys running Cinebench 2024 on this brand new chip to show us what it's capable of! Thank you so much for doing that!

The nvme disk is basically sitting on top of the CPU that can heat up to 100C during load (and will since this is a gaming unit). A storage flash chip is literally 2cm away from a heat source - a major design flaw, this will have huge negative impact on the storage and fast. Expect mass warranty claims in the next 6 - 12 months.

I'm not very sure. On the MSI Claw 8 ai+ a modification was designed to install a 2280 SSD just like on the new MSI Claw 8 EX Ai+. In fact, it was positioned right ABOVE the heatpipe and none of the people who implemented the modification had problems in a year of use
