QUOTE(wKkaY @ May 11 2021, 01:17 AM) Functionally no diff, it's a different interface despite fitting into the same slot. If you ever upgrade or replace the wifi card in it you'll need to make sure it's the CNVi interface, or you risk incompatibility with the mobo. Saying this from experience as I have a unit of AX210 (wifi 6E) that doesn't work with my laptop 😒  QUOTE(igx0908 @ May 11 2021, 01:37 PM) AX201: CNVio these answered my questionAX200: PCIE Although the connector looks the same, but the design of the network adapter is different. Because in CNVio, some network adapter components such as its firmware, MAC, memory and processor are moved to the Intel CPU instead. Threfore, CNVi can only be used with Intel CPU supporting it. .thanks |

QUOTE(TruboXL @ May 15 2021, 07:08 PM) Intel WiFi works only with Intel CPU? nope. Intel AX200 works on Ryzen CPU. personally installed it on my B450i Auros board. BUT Intel AX201 will only work on Intel CPU, 10th gen and above. |
