AMD’s hold on the gaming handheld market might finally be under threat. A new benchmark shows Intel Lunar Lake CPUs stomping over the competition with huge performance boosts compared to the AMD chips used in devices like the Steam Deck. It’s just one test so far, but if it’s replicated, then it points to next-gen handhelds becoming much more powerful.
Intel has been struggling against the tide of AMD wins for some time when it comes to gaming PC performance, but a wedge into handhelds could help boost the company after a long year of setbacks. There isn’t a single Intel chip powering any of the best handheld gaming PCs currently on the market, but if this leak is anything to go by, that could be about to change.
