MSI laptop leaked
MSI competes against ASUS and Lenovo with a new laptop.
It’s been less than 24 hours since MSI’s first teaser on social media, and now we have an image, name and full specifications of the upcoming device. This gaming device is called CLAW and is powered by an Intel Meteor Lake processor.
MSI depends Core Ultra 7 155H As a SKU for Clo, it’s already a high-spec processor with a total of 16 cores and 22 threads, double that of the Ryzen Z1 Extreme. However, Intel devices have a mix of P-cores and E-cores, which is still not a popular choice among mobile device manufacturers, mainly due to the limited graphics performance of this architecture. However, things have changed with the introduction of the Intel Core Ultra 100H series.
The system will have 6 P-cores and 8 E-cores as well as 2 LP cores. The included graphics are based on the Arch Alchemist architecture 8 Xe cores Boost up to 2.25GHz. Officially, the Core Ultra 7 155H is a 28W processor with a maximum turbo power of 115W. Early tests suggest that Arc will be interesting in this competition and will motivate Intel to improve its drivers
Leaky specs also ensure that the system will last 32GB storage. Double what the Legion Go and ROG Ally can offer without any changes. However, it is possible that MSI offers different configurations for the same device because not everyone needs that much memory.
The new laptop will be officially unveiled at CES 2024 next week, but the leaked teaser will surely spoil the surprise for MSI fans. This appears to be part of MSI’s marketing materials in China, which were passed around ahead of schedule. So if anyone is to blame, it’s MSI.
