Last Updated on November 23, 2021 by Asif Iqbal Shaik

MediaTek has been on an onslaught lately. The company recently announced the world’s first 4nm mobile processor—Dimensity 9000—and the world’s first 7nm TV chip: MediaTek Pentonic 2000. Now, the company has announced its partnership with AMD to unveil Wi-Fi 6E modules for laptops and PCs. The AMD RZ600 is powered by MediaTek’s latest Filogic 330P chipset, promising faster Wi-Fi speeds with better power efficiency, lower latency, and less interference. Let us have a look at AMD RZ600 Series Wi-Fi 6E specifications and features.

AMD RZ600 Series Wi-Fi 6E Modules Specifications

For the AMD RZ600 Wi-Fi module, AMD and MediaTek worked closely to integrate PCIe and USB interfaces. The collaboration also brings years of expertise in processes such as stress testing and adhering to compatibility standards to reduce development time for OEM customers. MediaTek’s Filogic 330P, which is used in the AMD RZ600, supports the latest connectivity standards of 2×2 Wi-Fi 6 (2.4GHz+5GHz), Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz), and Bluetooth 5.2 (with BLE). The Wi-Fi 6E standard utilises the new 6GHz spectrum at 160MHz channel bandwidth. The chipset also integrates MediaTek’s power amplifier (PA) and low noise amplifier (LNA) to help optimize power consumption. The reduced footprint enables the Filogic 330P chipset to be integrated into laptops of all sizes.

Apple is currently is working on its MR (Mixed Reality) headset with Wi-Fi 6E support. Metaverse is also working on its AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) head-mounted displays, and all of these devices are expected to feature Wi-Fi 6E. There are Wi-Fi 6E routers from ASUS, Linksys, Netgear, and others, already available in the market. It suffices to say that going forward, Wi-Fi 6E is going to be a much sought after feature for high-speed wireless devices. AMD can provide fast and reliable connectivity solutions to its users via its latest Wi-Fi 6E chipsets.

Alan Hsu, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Intelligent Connectivity at MediaTek, said, “MediaTek is already the Wi-Fi leader in a number of different segments, including smart TVs, routers and voice assistants. The new Filogic 330P chipset further broadens our connectivity portfolio as we continue to expand our footprint in the PC market. With this high throughput and ultra-low power chipset powering the next generation of AMD laptops, consumers can enjoy seamless connectivity and longer battery life while they game, stream and video chat.“
