Intel To Bring WIFI7 To Client platforms in 2024
As it turns out, Intel is poised to support Wi-Fi 7 by its client PC platforms by 2024. Intel's Wi-Fi '802.11be' will be integrated in PC goods such as laptops by 2024, said Eric McLaughlin, vice president of the wireless solutions division, during a press conference.
Wi-Fi 7 (also known as IEEE 802.11be) will offer a maximum raw aggregated bitrate of 40,000 Mbit/s (40 Gbit/s), making wired Ethernet connections obsolete for most users. Client devices usually handle slower connections. But to get such a high bitrate, Wi-Fi 7 clients and access points will have to use three bands — 2.40 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz — and increase channel width to 320 MHz as well as add 4096-QAM. Meanwhile, since Wi-Fi 7 will rely on technologies its predecessors introduced, things like mandatory support for MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) capabilities supported by Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E.
Given the significantly improved performance of Wi-Fi 7 over Wi-Fi 6/6E, Intel expects the technology to be adopted by bandwidth-hungry applications, such as augmented reality and virtual reality headsets that use Intel's WiGig (Wireless Gigabit) technology.
The IEEE isn't anticipated to implement IEEE 802.11be until 2025, thus its idiosyncrasies may change. Intel is optimistic about Wi-Fi 7 and expects its performance to increase by 2024, when it goes commercial.

Consoles will kill PC Gaming back when PS4 was released. Yeahhh
WiFi7 will make Wired obsolete , yeah if you lock yourself in a basement that is EMI free and you hug the Access Point. Not even to mention the typical small add up to latency.SFP+ for the win.If big data is not using wireless you shouldn't also for more critical devices than your phone.

Making wired connections obsolete? Yeah right, I've heard that one before.
It's going to be faster, but only if you have 3 WiFi access points which have enough power to process 40gbit/s and can simultaneously transmit to a single device which has 12 WiFi antennas/channels and have direct line of sight of each other within the same room - at which point it would be cheaper, easier and more reliable to just run a network cable!
Don't get me wrong, progress is progress and it's all good, but having jumped to WiFi 6 from 5 and realising that the other 10+ devices on my network prevent my pc from actually utilising the extra speeds, it's going to be a hell of a long time before WiFi 7 offers better speed.
Wifi 7 has simultaneous multi-band going for it, not only for the bandwidth, but especially for latency and jitter.
Also taking into consideration that the 6 GHz band will be mostly empty (unless you have Wifi 6E devices), it'll be a "Wifi 7-only" band, which should be nice.

How about including 10 Gbps ethernet on more motherboards instead?
