- alanfranz 3y agoYes, really. Cnvi cards only work on recent Intel cpus and they’re a tad cheaper. The problem is not Intel branded cards. Your card (ending with 0) is non-cnvi. Try an AX211 and it won’t work.
- zen_1 3y agoAs I understand it, the AX2X0 cards will work with any CPU, while the AX2X1 cards need CNVi support (so a newer intel SoC)
- duffyjp 3y agoLuckily I ordered the AX210 over the AX211 because the AX210 was cheaper. :P
- maverwa 3y agoReading intel ark, it seem to me that the AX210 is a fully fledged device that can be used with every SoC [0] while the AX201 relies on CNVi [1]. So both can be true at the same time: your AX210 works fine with the i7-2600, while the AX201 would not. Thanks for those product names Intel.
