Samsung, as well as MediaTek, has recently unveiled the world’s first 8K TV which supports the new Wi-Fi 6 standard that allows it to smoothly stream 8K content. This is due to the fact that the aforementioned TV comes equipped with MediaTek’s custom Wi-Fi 6 chipset, which is compatible with the new Wi-Fi standard.

The new Wi-Fi 6 standard has recently been unveiled which is not only backwards compatible with previous Wi-Fi standards, but it is also able to achieve up to 1.5Gbps based on a test conducted by CNET. To put it into perspective, CNET managed to download all 22 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in 4k resolution in less than 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Based on a statement by cnet.com, the development of the new Wi-Fi 7 standard is currently underway which promises up to 30Gbps in speeds over Wi-Fi connection. Not only will it be significantly faster compared to today’s standards, but it will also be broadcasted over 6GHz frequency which was first introduced in Wi-Fi 6.
