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.
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…
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.
