That new Wifi chip also supports dual-band simultaneous (DBS), as far as I understand. They already use this on Windows with other DBS chips like Intel AX411 or Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 and their Steam Networking API to achieve lower latency in their popular multiplayer games. I wonder if they will do this on SteamOS too, also potentially for simultaneous downloads over both bands. Also comes with a dedicated Bluetooth antenna.

Also I wonder if they upgraded the SD card slot to support DDR200, was that benchmarked in any review?
