Intel Arc graphics driver update improves "performance and frame pacing" on MSI Claw handhelds with Core Ultra 200V chips

Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark running on MSI Claw 8 AI+.

The latest Intel Arc graphics driver, version 32.0.101.6734, is available to download directly from Intel.com after its release on Tuesday, April 8, with an interesting changelog. Compared to recent drivers that improved performance on games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, this new release is notable for its lack of "Game On" improvements for any PC game whatsoever.

Instead, this new driver focuses (albeit in a vague fashion) on the MSI Claw 8 AI+ and MSI Claw 7 AI+ handheld gaming PCs. Since they are (currently) the only handhelds that use Intel's Ultra 200V Series processors, the included power management optimizations should improve framerate pacing at "lower power" modes on each Claw.
