We've compiled the benchmark results for MSI's first portable gaming PC, the Claw A1M, equipped with Intel Core Ultra.



MSI's first portable gaming PC, the Claw A1M , has been released. The PC features a 7-inch full HD display and an Intel Core Ultra processor as its CPU. Following

the photo review , we ran various benchmarks on it.

◆ Check specifications
First, check the CPU information with

CPU-Z . The CPU is an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with 16 cores and 22 threads.



Next, check the GPU information with

GPU-Z . It is the CPU's built-in GPU, 'Intel Arc Graphics.'



Storage information was confirmed with

CrystalDiskInfo . It is a KIOXIA BG5 series NVMe SSD with a capacity of 1TB.



◆Benchmark
First, we measured the transfer speed of the SSD using CrystalDiskMark . The results were sequential read 3529.39MB/s, sequential write 2848.45MB/s, random read 585.16MB/s, and random write 425.36MB/s.



The

CrystalMark Retro benchmark results were an overall score of 10471, a CPU single-core score of 11334, and a CPU multi-core score of 103025.



We ran CPU and GPU benchmarks using

Geekbench 6. First, the CPU benchmark results were a single-core score of 2415 and a multi-core score of 10742.



The single-core score details look like this.



The detailed multi-core scores are as follows:



Next, the GPU benchmark results.

The OpenCL score was 33367.



The OpenCL score details look like this.



Vulkan 's score was '35429'.



The Vulkan score details look like this.



The result of '

Passmark PerformanceTest ', which can run six types of benchmarks at once, was a total score of '6597'. This software uses past test results to show where the current result is in percentiles from the bottom. The Claw A1M is '69%', slightly above the middle.



Passmark PerformanceTest also allows you to compare past benchmark results with the current benchmark results in a graph. This time, we compared the results with those of the standard business laptop 'Let'snote CF-SV9', the Microsoft Surface series 'Surface Go 4' and 'Surface Laptop Go 3', the high-performance gaming PC 'Razer Blade 16', and the world's lightest 14-inch gaming PC 'OMEN Transcend 14'. The overall results seem to exceed those of business devices, but not as good as gaming PCs equipped with the GeForce RTX series.



The CPU score is '28110'. The percentile is quite high at 83%.



The comparison results look something like this, with the numbers coming in pretty close to the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H.



The 2D graphics score was 677, which is in the 52% percentile.



Intel Arc Graphics' performance stands out.



The 3D graphics score was '6144', which is in the 39% percentile.



The difference is quite large in 3D, but the numbers are still quite high for a GPU built into a CPU.



The memory score was 2699, which is in the 49% percentile.



Here's the comparison. It's ahead of the business crowd and catching up with the laptop gaming crowd, just like the total score.



The disk score was '26475', which is a percentile of 81%.



The comparison results look like this, and the trend is the same as the total and memory results.



We also ran Blender V4.1 tests in

the Blender official benchmark . For the CPU, the number of sample renderings was '89.705917' for monster, '59.384786' for junkshop, and '42.139282' for classroom.



When running the GPU benchmark, the number of sample renderings was '198.937897' for monster, '43.724221' for junkshop, and '105.485321' for classroom.



We also ran the '

FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION Benchmark ' at three different image qualities and four different resolutions.



The results are below. It's tough to run at 4K resolution even if you lower the quality, but other resolutions seem to depend on the quality settings.

Quality/Resolution 3840×2160 2560×1440 1920×1080 1280×720
Lightweight quality 2056 (heavy) 3621(Regular) 5229 (somewhat comfortable) 5994 (somewhat comfortable)
Average quality 1475 (difficult to operate) 2480 (slightly heavy) 3778(Normal) 5415 (somewhat comfortable)
high quality 1241 (Difficult to operate) 2027 (heavy) 2706 (slightly heavy) 3537(Normal)


Here's what it looks like when I actually played Genshin Impact . The graphics settings are set to 'lowest quality' by default after installation, which makes the movement look choppy, so I changed the FPS from 30 to 60. From what I saw when I played, there were few issues with the game with these settings, so there didn't seem to be any problems. The reason why I couldn't move the viewpoint very well and I was constantly hitting normal attacks after using elemental skills is because I usually use a keyboard and mouse, which has a completely different control system, rather than a gamepad, and it's not because the device is bad.

This is a portable device that is easy to carry around, so we measured its battery life and how much noise it makes when in use.
