    It's been listed for a while having looked into the Intel driver .inf files a while back, it's just a Killer branded AX210 nothing more. In fact in the very AX1675 ARK link you posted if you click on product brief it takes you to the AX210 specs document. I think you already got the AX210 so you should be golden :).

    Yes,we all know the Killer cards are Intel AX210 but why market another unless it's for MSI and their Double Shot promotions.

    I don't think it's about MSI alone, their sales are no where near the likes of Dell or Lenovo, to make that difference. The likes of Dell and Lenovo with larger sales volume use the "Killer" platform and it's a catchy marketing play to look better and maybe a few people here or there may find the client side QoS software stuff useful, assuming they don't run into issues like @Spartan@HIDevolution and others have. Doubleshot seems kinda dubious, if I'm already connected to ethernet am I really going to get much benefit off loading certain things to WiFi, outside maybe doing a massive LAN transfer to a NAS while streaming/gaming.... aside from that, the biggest bottleneck at that point is probably your internet connection affecting your latency.
