The Claw A1M is still far from a Steam Deck competitor, but regular BIOS and Intel driver updates are working to try and close the gap.

On paper the Intel processor is much better than the Zen 1 Extreme chip, but lack of optimizations remains the main bottleneck.

I knew Intel would incrementally improve the support for the device, because we saw how they handled the Arc cards. They were not great at first but then a driver update was pushed that increased efficacy by almost double bringing the cards on par with low and mid-rangers from the other manufacturers.

Hopefully Intel’s support improves more and the field becomes additionally competitive.
