Confirming leaks, MSI presented on Computex 2025 a new laptop, the Claw A8 BZ2em. Its main difference is that Handheld brings a Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, marking the first time MSI adopts an AMD chip instead of Intel on such a device.
Not only did the company have decided to expand its range of partnerships, but it also managed to get ahead of competitors making the first official announcement of a laptop equipped with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme. The new series of AMD Handheld Apuss is also expected in the next Asus Rog Ally, for example, but we haven’t had its revelation yet.

MSI famously adopted Intel processors in its laptops since the past generation. The Claw 8 Ai+has just gained a new white version, the Polar Tempest Edition, which the manufacturer is promoting along with the Claw A8.
It is possible that the company is promoting a new variant of Claw with Lunar Lake to indicate that it will not give up its partnership with Intel yet. Anyway, the Claw A8 with Ryzen Z2 Extreme opens a range of possibilities for future handhelds of the company.

MSI Claw A8 brings less integrated RAM memory
The Claw 8 with Intel Core Ultra 7 268V comes with 32GB of memory LPDDR5X-8533, while the new model uses 24GB of memory LPDDR5X-8000. It’s a theoretical downgrade, but we still need comparatives to see the real difference in the final product performance, as your processor is completely different.

The screen, however, remains exactly the same. There are 8 ”, as the name of the laptop indicates, often up to 120Hz.
Speaking of comparatives, MSI unfortunately has not yet disclosed the price or release date to the Claw A8. The value will certainly be an important metric when comparing the product with its original version equipped with Intel.
