Why 8260 though, when the 8265 supports MU-MIMO?

 

Edit: Nevermind, I understand.

Although you could simply order one through eBay or AliExpress.

I just saw yesterday that Intel's 9000 series cards is available on eBay.

I want an Intel Wireless-AC 9560, but the prices...

 

Edit: It seems to have disappeared.

Update: It would appear that the 9560 has a new interface, M.2 CNVio, as opposed to M.2 PCIe or M.2 USB.

Update 2: It appears that the entire 9000 series utilize CNVio over M.2, and do not support PCIe or USB over M.2.

It appears that Intel had made a slip, as after an update the content in Intel ARK a few last week, it would appear that the Intel Wireless-AC (Although it may appear that it supports Wireless AD, due to the it's 160MHz band support) 9260 actually does not support CNVIo but rather standard PCIe (over M.2) or USB.

The price on eBay and AliExpress stands at around the 25$ price point.

 

I certainly hope to to get a few 9260's (incrementally, I have a strict budget) for me and my family (my mother's laptop is the only laptop in use that does not support M.2, and I had already upgraded it with a Intel Wireless-AC 7265).

 

Update: It would appear that I had confused the 160Mhz additional spectrum with the 60Ghz Wireless-AD.
