FULL STORY
======================================================================

The MSI Claw, released in March 2024 , has gotten plenty of negative 
attention thanks to its poor optimization at launch. But a new PC gaming 
handheld sporting an Intel processor is coming and may be the answer to 
Intels portable console woes. 

The AOKZOE A2 Ultra has been confirmed to sport an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, 
according to a report from PCGamesN . This is the same processor powering the 
high-end models of the MSI Claw A1M, which received plenty of backlash due to 
its struggling with basic gaming tasks that its competition easily handles. 

Unlike MSI, the company behind the device seems to have more experience with 
manufacturing PC handhelds, though, like the Steam Deck and nearly every 
other handheld in the market, it usually uses AMD processors. While we dont 
know why AOKZOE made the switch to Intel, theres a good chance that the 
AOKZOE A2 Ultra could be the redemption story that Intel needs right now. MSI 
Claw was disappointing 

As of now, theres no clear reason why the MSI Claw is struggling. Our own 
preview of the handheld was beaming, praising its consistent and excellent 
performance with the limited games on hand. However, once in-depth reviews 
arrived, tales of subpar performance woes quickly spread. 

These issues include some Intel-related updates refusing to install properly 
, the MSI Centers inconsistent game launching, overheating issues, 
inconsistent performance , and more. Right now, the universal experience with 
this system seems to be frustration and disappointment. 

And the problem is, we dont know whos to blame for this. Is it MSIs 
manufacturing process, or architectural limitations with Intel processors? 
The answer will most likely be settled with the AOKZOE A2 Ultra once it 
launches, which makes this handheld incredibly vital for Intel to prove that 
its processor can stand against AMD's in this market. You might also like MSI 
Claw gets official pricing  and some gamers aren't happy MSI Claw finally has 
a release date and it's sooner than you think MSI Claw becomes the first 
gaming handheld to feature Intel Core
