The new chips will include Qualcomm's 'FastConnect 7800' platform which will allow them to support the upcoming Wi-Fi 7 standard, which isn’t even expected to be formalised until 2024 at the earliest.
The firm said the chips would be the “world’s first” with Wi-Fi 7 compatibility which will enable new performance benchmarks with peak speeds of 5.8Gbps and sub-2 millisecond latency. It also includes support for 'High Band Simultaneous' technology, which is capable of utilising both 5 and 6GHz spectrum bands concurrently in order to keep latency to an absolute minimum.
For consumers, the low latency features may be most keenly utilised by online gamers, where even split-second delays can make the difference in victories. The technology is also useful for firms leveraging Industry 4.0, which sees manufacturers integrating new technologies, including IoT, cloud computing and analytics.
Wi-Fi 7 comes only a few years after the finalisation...
