So there are many companies offering WiFi chips: Intel, Mediatek, Qualcomm, Realtek etc... who makes the best ones?

I am sorry if this question sounds stupid, because in the tech world it's best to compare the products themselves, not the brand. However I am not familiar with how this sector of the hardware industry works and product lines of each company. So I hope your answers can enlighten me and others in the same boat.

In my experience Intel is generally best, but they all make duds, including Intel. I use a Qualcomm in my laptop at work and it’s very good.

Indeed, but most people I know that demand the best NICs (not necessarily wifi ones), have low latency gaming in mind, thus my comment. What I was trying to say was that even cheap ones, are "good enough" for such scenarios.
