Benchmark leaks for the new Intel Battlemage GPU found in the MSI Claw 2 have started to surface, and this latest one appears to show that it offers nearly double the performance of the Steam Deck GPU. The forthcoming MSI Claw 2 is set to use the new Intel Lunar Lake chip, which has just appeared in a listing on the Geekbench results browser in the Vulkan test.

Vulkan is an open-source API that can be used as an alternative to DirectX, and it’s used in both games and professional applications. You can run Baldur’s Gate 3 and Doom Eternal in Vulkan rather than DirectX, for example. Geekbench might be a synthetic benchmark, but it does give an indication of GPU performance, and it looks as though the Steam Deck could soon have a rival from MSI on our guide to the best handheld gaming PC.
