- Intel’s new bow graphics driver 32.0.101.6734 Goals Better Handheld Games PC Power Management
- It improves frame stimulation during games at lower wattags
- This can improve gaming sessions for users with less power consumption and better performance
The handheld game -PC scene is expanding quickly and we still have much more to look forward to -especially the upcoming Lenovo Legion Go 2 using AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme Apu. However, one of the best handheld game devices right now, the MSI Claw 8 AI+, has just received an exciting update.
As reported by NoteBookcheck, Intel’s new arc -graphics driver 32.0.101.6734 Power control for Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors, specifically handheld games PC IGPUs: Key Takeaway Here is basically that MSI Claw 8 AI+ and MSI CLAW 7 AI+ (both user Ultra 7 258V) now has much better games.
Driverpatchet highlights improvements to ‘frame stimulation’ at lower power modes, allowing users to play on lower TDPs (essentially lower wattage) while still providing large FPS and frame pace results. The latter is ideal, especially when using features such as Xess Frame Generation: Lower TDPS usually results in poor frame stimulation, no matter how high your FPS is, leading to a less consistent gaming experience.
With Intel targeting this, the Xess Frame Generation can feel much smoother, especially if the basic framework rates are tall enough (a recommended native frame is usually about 40 fps or more). It can also help expand your game sessions, with the improved power control that provides less battery consumption compared to older graphics drivers.
Now we just have to wait to see how Amd’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme will appear …
Intel is currently taking the handheld game -PC scene by storm, with its powerful SOCs, providing unique performance on the new Claw AI+ devices. I haven’t had the privilege of testing it even (beautiful thanks, MSI?), But based on lots of reviews and results, it seems to dominate its most important competitors like Asus Rog Ally X.
However, the verdict is not yet final: AMDS Ryzen Z2 Extreme APU is ready to hit the market sometime this year, and probably first appears in Lenovo Legion Go 2.
I hope that Ryzen Z2 Extreme offers a significant benefit increase over its Z1 -extreme predecessor -enough of a performance jump to challenge Team Blue’s impressive core Ultra 7 258V processor.
If it does not, there is still hope for AMD’s new FSR 4 -up scaling method to get your way to RDNA 3.5 hardware for performance and image quality in play. Right now, FSR is 4 exclusive for RDNA 4 GPUs (Radeon RX 9000 series). Either way, I’m glad to see that handhelds of this generation get the attention they deserve.
