At Computex, MSI has unveiled its collaboration with gaming giant Bethesda to create a new Fallout-themed MSI Claw gaming console. The brand has also unveiled its new MSI Claw 8 AI+, which also features Fallout-themed aesthetics.

MSI Claw 8 AI+ console details:

The design of this console is inspired by the game’s Vaults, the Pip-Boys worn by Vault dwellers, and robots, making it a dream item for Fallout fans. The console also comes on the heels of the popular TV adaptation of Fallout, which has refreshed the interest of many in the franchise.

Other than the exterior, the console has also made some changes on the hardware level. It still has a D-pad, XYAB buttons, joysticks, and triggers with a hall effect, however, it now features a bigger 8-inch FHD display with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and 500 nits brightness. The panel offers full coverage of the sRGB color gamut.

The Intel Meteor Lake Core Ultra 7 155H CPU is replaced by Intel’s upcoming Lunar Lake CPU, and the console has a powerful “Cooler Boost Hyperflow” cooling system that uses two fans and two heat pipes. Tom’s Hardware has reported that the will also have a bigger 80 Whr battery replacing the 53Whr on the original, and come with two Thunderbolt 4 ports.

MSI Claw Fallout 4 Limited Edition:

MSI will also be launching a Fallout-themed Claw A1M console. This basically means that the Fallout 4 Limited Edition console will essentially be a skin for the current-gen A1M console.

In terms of specs, it has an Intel Core Ultra 5 135H or Core Ultra 7 155H processor, paired with 16GB RAM and up to 1TB storage. The display measures 7 inches and provides an FHD resolution with 120Hz refresh rate. The console has a Thunderbolt 4 port, a microSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and stereo speakers.

MSI Claw 8 AI+ gaming handheld is leaked to come with a larger 8″ display and the Intel Core Ultra 200 Lunar Lake chip. In addition, it will also offer better battery life according to the leak.

Claw 8 AI+ could offer over 10 times higher AI performance than the Claw A1M

Tipster @momomo_us has posted the details on X (formerly Twitter). He has also mentioned that the upcoming Claw 8 AI+ handheld will equip a Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port, enhanced LB/RB buttons, and a lighter AC power adapter.

According to the leak, MSI has also collaborated with Bethesda to build a Fallout-themed special edition version of the MSI Claw. This special edition will feature a slightly smaller 7″ FHD display and offer a design that is inspired by the vault, Pip-Boy, and roots from the Fallout series. However, it’s not clear whether it is going to be a rebranded version of the existing MSI Claw A1M or a version of the Claw 8 AI+.

Unfortunately this is all the information the tipster could share.

Speaking of the Lunar Lake series chip, it could come out in Q3 2024. The Claw AI+ with the new chip is expected to be a strong competitor to the ROG Alley X, which is powered by the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor and offers a smaller 7″ display.

MSI has embedded the term AI in the product name, and we will have to see what kind of advantages it brings to the table and how it improves the overall gaming experience. The upcoming Core Ultra 200 chipset is expected to offer over 100 TOPS in AI performance. Notably, this is more than 10 times higher than the AI capabilities of the existing Meteor Lake series chips that power the Claw A1M.

The GPU in the Core Ultra 200 series is also expected to boast the new Battlemage GPU architecture, which will hopefully contribute to implementing a better gaming experience as compared to the current generation product.
