MSI has recently provided a sneak peek into the launch of a new product category – its inaugural handheld gaming console, the MSI CLAW. This device is set to go head-to-head with rivals such as the ROG Ally and Steam Deck.
On X, MSI’s official account (formerly Twitter) posted a teaser video, creating anticipation among gamers for the upcoming release of the MSI CLAW handheld. The video offers a cryptic glimpse, sparking curiosity about MSI’s entry into the handheld gaming console market.
Intel Gaming’s official X account responded to MSI’s teaser video, adding to the excitement surrounding this development. The interaction hints at a potential collaboration or integration of Intel processors in the upcoming MSI CLAW handheld gaming console.
Recent releases from Intel include the Core Ultra processors, featuring robust Meteor Lake graphics with basic-level ray-tracing capabilities, making them suitable for playing the latest games. Leaks suggest that the MSI CLAW will be equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor. Detailed specifications for this specific Intel SKU are provided below.
A Geekbench leak, brought to attention by X user @Olrak29_, has revealed the processor details for the upcoming MSI CLAW gaming handheld. The benchmark scores indicate a multi-core score of 11543 points and a single-core score of 2403 points, offering a glimpse into the device’s performance capabilities, particularly in the latest games.
The MSI CLAW gaming handheld is set to be showcased at CES 2024, as confirmed in the official teaser. More details and information about the console are expected to be unveiled during the event.

The release of Valve’s Steam Deck in early 2022 prompted several brands to venture into the handheld gaming console market. ASUS ROG Ally, particularly those running on Windows 11, captured the attention of enthusiasts. The imminent launch of MSI’s CLAW handheld gaming console adds to the growing lineup of portable PCs designed for gaming.
Referring to these handhelds as personal computers highlights their versatility, as devices like ROG Ally or Steam Deck running Windows can function effectively as regular computers. The integration of Intel Core Ultra chips in MSI’s upcoming gaming handheld is anticipated to elevate its performance.
