Although overshadowed by the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, the Intel Corporation and Broadcom yesterday quietly ushered in a huge milestone in tech with a demonstration of the first cross-company Wi-Fi 7 implementation.

The collaboration showcased consistent Wi-Fi speeds of over 5 gigabits per second (5Gbps), using an Intel Core laptop connected to a Broadcom access point.

“We are proud to highlight how next-generation Wi-Fi 7 can make new mobile PC experiences possible. Industry collaboration is essential to ensure we deliver on the promises of this new wireless technology. We would like to thank our colleagues at Broadcom for their great technical cooperation, which helped enable this unprecedented, first-of-its-kind demonstration of ultra-high speed and ultra-low latency Wi-Fi 7,” says Carlos Cordeiro, Intel Fellow and Wireless CTO, Client Computing Group, Intel.

Wi-Fi 7 will be the gold standard for at least 10 years of product releases, offering high speeds, increased stability, and low latency compared to existing solutions. For technology fans wanting more details, Wi-Fi 7 will feature wider 320 MHz channels in the 6GHz spectrum, higher order 4K QAM modulation, and improved channel utilization.

“Today’s milestone sends a clear message: the ecosystem is ready, and Wi-Fi 7 is here to deliver extraordinary capacity and blazing fast speeds to extend gigabit broadband. The reliable, low latency communication provided by Wi-Fi 7 is a key element of Broadcom’s vision for connecting everything as the Internet evolves to its next iteration,” says Vijay Nagarajan, vice president, Wireless Connectivity Division, Broadcom.

For those less concerned about the details and more interested in future applications, the new Wi-Fi standard will almost certainly be put to work in augmented and virtual reality settings, enabling fast and steady streaming of ultra-high-definition 16K video.

As our homes become increasingly connected and more devices rely on wireless signals, gamers and work-from-home employees alike will benefit from massive speed increases, while regular multimedia users will benefit from stable streams and better utilization of high-speed broadband and fiber internet services.

Alienware has just updated its gaming monitor lineup with six new additions, including the highly anticipated Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Monitor. The latest wave of releases is set to reach more gamers than ever, offering high-end QD-OLED displays alongside more budget-friendly options.

The latest displays clearly show that the company is doubling down on QD-OLED with three new models sporting the technology. A redesigned Alienware 34 Ultra-Wide QD-OLED Monitor is also making a return, further refining what is already a fan-favorite display.

A Unified Design: The AW30 Aesthetic

All six monitors feature Alienware’s new AW30 design language, first introduced at CES. The AW30 aesthetic brings a futuristic, minimalist look that unites the entire lineup under a cohesive visual identity.

Pushing QD-OLED Even Further

The refreshed Alienware 34 Ultra-Wide QD-OLED Monitor (AW3425DW) builds on its predecessor’s success with a 240Hz refresh rate (up from 175Hz) and HDMI 2.1 FRL support. It also gains G-SYNC Compatible certification alongside AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA AdaptiveSync, ensuring ultra-smooth performance. With a WQHD (3440×1440) resolution and an 1800R curve, this display enhances immersion for both gaming and cinematic experiences.

For those who crave speed, the Alienware 27 280Hz QD-OLED Monitor (AW2725D) pairs a high refresh rate with QHD resolution, balancing sharp visuals with ultra-smooth gameplay. Meanwhile, the Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Monitor (AW2725Q) delivers stunning clarity with an industry-leading pixel density of 166 PPI, making it the sharpest OLED or QD-OLED monitor available.

Alongside QD-OLED, Alienware is also releasing three new QHD gaming monitors aimed at more price-conscious gamers. The Alienware 34 Gaming Monitor (AW3425DWM), Alienware 32 Gaming Monitor (AW3225DM), and Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor (AW2725DM) provide a range of sizes and formats to suit different preferences:

The Alienware 34 Gaming Monitor (AW3425DWM): An ultrawide (WQHD) option for a panoramic, immersive experience.

The Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor (AW2725DM): A 27” display offering the same performance in a more compact form factor.

All three gaming monitors feature a fast 180 Hz refresh rate, a 1ms gray-to-gray response time, and support for NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync, and VESA AdaptiveSync to eliminate screen tearing. Additionally, with 95% DCI-P3 color coverage and VESA DisplayHDR400 certification, these displays deliver vibrant colors and high dynamic range for lifelike visuals.
