Embrace the Wi-Fi standards evolution

Wi‑Fi 7 builds on Wi‑Fi 6/6E to increase throughput while reducing latency and improving reliability for deterministic, high‑precision applications.

320 MHz channels & 4K QAM

Wi‑Fi 7 increases capacity through 320 MHz channels and 4K QAM, enabling up to 2.4× higher peak throughput than Wi‑Fi 6/6E for data‑intensive use cases like 8K streaming.

MLO & deterministic latency

Wi‑Fi 7 introduces Multi‑Link Operation (MLO), allowing simultaneous transmission across multiple bands to improve throughput, reduce latency, and increase link reliability.

Multi-RU puncturing

Wi‑Fi 7 introduces Multi‑RU puncturing, allowing devices to transmit on unused portions of wide channels instead of blocking the entire channel as in Wi‑Fi 6/6E.

Frequently asked questions

Wi-Fi 7 is Intel's latest generation of wireless networking technology for PCs and devices, based on the Wi-Fi 7 standard (802.11be). It's designed to deliver extremely high speeds, very low latency, and more stable connections for demanding workloads like gaming, streaming, and real-time collaboration.

MLO enables Wi-Fi 7 devices to send and receive data across multiple frequency bands at the same time. This improves overall throughput, reduces latency, and helps maintain more consistent connections in busy environments.

Wi-Fi 7 is designed for high-performance, low-latency use cases, including 8K video streaming, AR and VR, cloud gaming, and real-time interactive applications. It also performs well in dense environments such as offices, campuses, and industrial settings.1

Wi-Fi 7 reduces latency by allowing devices to use the fastest available connection and dynamically avoid congestion. With Multi-Link Operation, traffic can move more efficiently across bands, helping minimize delays and keep performance consistent.

Yes. Features like Multi-RU puncturing allow devices to use available portions of a channel instead of avoiding it entirely when interference is present. Combined with multi-link operation, this helps improve efficiency and reliability in dense, high-traffic environments.

2 ">5 Gbps Wi-Fi 7 2x2 client speed” - is based on the current draft of the 802.11be specification which specifies the theoretical maximum data rate for a 2x2 device that supports 320 MHz channels, 4096 QAM, and Multi-Link Operation is 5.76 Gbps. Based on an industry-standard assumption of 90% efficiency for new Wi-Fi products operating in the exclusive 6 GHz band, the resulting estimated maximum over the air 2x2 client speed would be 5.19 Gbps.
