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!

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.
