AI Summary

Intel has requested that Valve add Intel XeSS support to Proton, indicating a push to improve performance of its mobile gaming chips on Linux. The move targets handheld PCs that already use Intel processors, such as the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ powered by the Intel Arc G3 Extreme GPU. While the Claw is a Windows‑only device, the request reflects Intel’s desire to bring its hardware into Valve’s SteamOS ecosystem, which has traditionally supported AMD chips.
