Wait till we’re streaming 8k video in each eye of our VR headsets. You’ll need it some day.

Damn, I don’t think I even have WiFi 6 yet, haha. I’ve just not had any need for faster speeds.
I’m sure something will come along that’ll make use of it though!

That’s why I’m dropping fiber in my house when I do my ethernet drops. Might as well pull 2 wires and future-proof it.

40Gb fiber?
Nice.

It’s even better, because I forgot that our neighborhood was getting FTTH until they started on my street this morning.

8k Video in each eye.
Not even 5 minutes in - your internet throttles back to 56kbps because you hit the data cap.

This is primarily meant to replace wired local data transfer solutions like thunderbolt. Example, sending video data from a camera to an editing workstation.
The transfer speed of WiFi 7 is just over Thunderbolt 3.

Woah. I assume Thunderbolt will still have latency benefits. For example, we’re not going to have wireless eGPUs, surely? I hope I’m wrong, because wireless PCIe lanes would be amazing.

Cpus won’t be able to handle the interrupts from speeds that high.
