If you don't feel like watching the video, there is the option to read the written article on:https://www.mbreviews.com/is-intel-gatekeeping-wifi-7-be200-ada...
It seems that Intel is gatekeeping WiFi 7 and I analyzed the options that we currently have.
I’ve looked into getting one for my AMD laptop but I haven’t actually got one yet. Some models are locked, some are not, here’s my research:
BE200.NGWGis a CNVi module and everything except the radio itself was moved into Intel’s CPUs, for cost savings.BE200.NGWG.NVis a normal NIC and should support AMD.BE200.NGWG.NVX- same as above but with an X?BE202sucks, avoid it.I checked the official Intel page (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230078/intel-wifi-7-be200/specifications.html) and there was no mention of CNVi. If you search for the visual difference between cards that use CNVio2 and those that use PCie, there is an actual difference at the connector level. I still don’t think that the BE200 works in the same manner as the AX211.
Yeah, sorry I wrote the comment before I watched the video.
