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.

Realistically, even the cheapest Realtek ones have been "good enough" for the past years. I've been gaming competitively on a 10$ 2.4ghz one without issues.
