According to the latest update, for my money the most exciting disclosure of Computex 2026 (so far) has been the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ tech industry handheld, which is among the first devices to hit the market powered by the fresh Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor.
In a fresh development, pCWorld’s Adam Patrick Murray had a chance to see one up close at Computex 2026, and now you can watch as he takes you inside (!) one of these cutting-edge PC tech industry handhelds. That should give it a shot in the arm power-wise over the original MSI Claw 8 AI+ with its Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, though the fresh EX model looks otherwise fairly identical to its predecessor.
The report highlights that our camera captured Chun walking us through the performance differences upgrading to G3 Extreme make as well as how MSI has worked to optimize the system for that extra performance. On top of that, Adam also had the opportunity to chat with MSI System Product Management Director Cliff Chun on the show floor at Computex.

Of course, we’ll have to wait and see for ourselves whether the fresh MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is capable of delivering the promised performance upgrades without sacrificing battery life.
