Intel usually has two type of WiFi adapters. One tries on things in their CPUs, the other one doesn't. So it a bit strange that this video finds it surprising that there's a version tied to Intel CPUs. I'd always get the one that doesn't need an Intel CPU. This as it'll impact your CPU less,, Intel or not.
Can you please provide a link to the Intel WiFi 7 adapter that does work with AMD systems? I would really like to test it asap.
If I recall well it is the no-vPro ones that works, but currently there is a bug on AMD systems that prevent the BE200 to work. Windows already got a partial fix, but not Linux.
I got two BE200 adapters and both are non-vPro. I did not know about the AMD systems bug, I thought it's just basic driver incompatibility. So I will look a bit more into it.
Some of us remember win modems and their ability to kill your computer by tying your network performance to your CPU usage. Good times...
