OpenClaw debuted a few months back, yet we’ve already noted several compact implementations and some mini PCs come with OpenClaw pre-installed. Recently, CIX introduced the ClawCore Armv9.2 CPU family tailored for OpenClaw.
The ClawCore series includes three main SKUs:
1. **ClawCore-P** (“Powerful Claw”) – A high-performance CPU with 12 cores at 3.2GHz, Immortalis-G720 GPU, 45 TOPS AI compute, supporting up to 64GB LPDDR5 RAM. It targets high-parallelism, large-capacity scenarios, available from March 2026.
2. **ClawCore-A** (“AI/Smart Claw”) – Features an octa-core CPU at 3.0GHz, 80 TOPS AI compute (expandable to 200 TOPS with PCIe AI card), up to 64GB LPDDR5. It is designed for continuous use with full-chain ECC, hardware security, and a hybrid local/online inference reducing model token costs by up to 50%. It handles large models (27B or up to 120B in collaboration), launching in June 2026.
3. **ClawCore-E** (“Efficient Claw”) – This variant combines an Armv9.2 CPU with an NPU, featuring voice/network wake-up for on-demand use, targeted at edge/IoT devices, expected by December 2026.
ClawCore-P shares specs with CIX P1, including 12 Armv9.2 cores and a 3.2 GHz max CPU frequency, differing from the P1’s advertised 2.8 GHz. ClawCore-P PCs and workstations are due soon, with ClawCore-A projected shortly after.
CIX will also provide software support with five key components:
– **Open AI Agent Hub:** A developer-sharing platform for models and skills.
– **Integrated delivery:** Chips integrate OpenClaw framework and optimized models.
– **Smart collaboration:** Connecting Agents across systems for collective intelligence.
– **Security mechanisms:** Hardware encryption to secure AI agents.
– **Optimization:** Reducing power consumption for 24/7 operation devices.
Driver developers will receive an SDK to aid in developing for Arm SystemReady platform, compatible with Windows, Android, Ubuntu, Tongxin/UnionTech, and Kylin OS.
