  Leading Connectivity
  
  
  WIFI 7 - The revolutionary WiFi 7 is faster than standard WiFi 6*, thanks to tech like 160 MHz channels** on the 6GHz band and 4K QAM*. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) provides a more stable WiFi connection and lower latency, unlocking the realms of the unknown in gaming, streaming and industrial IoT.
  
  Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet - Onboard Intel® 2.5Gb Ethernet gives your wired connection a boost, with speeds that are 2.5 times faster than standard Ethernet connections for speedy file transfers, low-latency gaming, and high-res video streaming.
  
  PCIe 5.0 - Fully embracing the new standard, offers end-to-end PCIe 5.0 support.
  
  Thunderbolt 4 Type-C® Port - The port delivers up to 40 Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth for the latest super-speed devices and drives. Besides, it can be employed for up to two external 4K displays, and PCIe bandwidth extends to up to 32 Gbps.
  
  Dolby Atmos - ROG and Dolby® have partnered to bring superior gaming audio quality to users. Dolby Atmos expands on traditional surround sound systems by adding height channels, which enables immersive three-dimensional audio to be perceived from above, below and around the listener.
  
  SupremeFX - ROG SupremeFX is a unique blend of hardware and software technologies that provide superior audio. The Strix B860-I implementation features the ALC1220P codec for high-resolution playback up to 32-bit/192 kHz across all channels. Front-panel output is streamed through the integrated Savitech amplifier that can drive high-fidelity acoustics to a wide variety of speakers and headsets.
