Have an AX200 series wifi chip on an AM4 Motherboard, works well.
- kitsunesoba 4y agoUsing AX2XX on my Ryzen desktop too, works great. As far as I know that series of chipsets is one of the best available for Wifi/BT cards.
- eightysixfour 4y agoThe *1’s use CPU offloading and only support Intel CPUs. The *0’s don’t.
- Bairfhionn 4y agoAX201 only works with intel. AX200 should work in the AMD Framework as well. Edit: Info from Intel itself https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000054819/wireless.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000...
- codedokode 4y agoWhy does it work only with Intel? Isn't WiFi card just an ordinary PCI-Express device?
- detaro 4y ago> that the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 is a CRF module that uses the Intel proprietary interface clearly not.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoSome Intel cards offload work onto the CPU (or mobo?)
- Bairfhionn 3y agoI think both. Chipset and CPU.
- KeplerBoy 4y agoFascinating, the specs seem identical apart from the different interface. I wonder what's the purpose/advantage of the AX201.
- stirlo 4y agoThe 2x1 wifi card are intel specific while the 2x0 cards are CPU agnostic. As long as you have a card model ending in 0 you're fine to use any CPU. As for why they did it I'd assume its slightly cheaper to build a 2x1 chip than a 2x0 as offloading the functions to the CPU would mean less components on the card itself. When you're selling 100s of millions of them every little bit counts.
