Okay, so then the BE200 is an Intel product that offloads to the northbridge or CPU extensions…not that unusual. If it specifically says it supports only Intel chipsets, then you’re getting exactly what they are promising, right?
Honestly, I don’t know how the BE200 works and whether there’s a strict communication protocol only with Intel CPUs. I hope that’s not the case and a firmware update will widen its reach.
As for why I don’t like this situation is that we only get one solution working with one platform. Qualcomm, apparently made it available for both (from what I could find on the web), but since the card is not in stock since maybe November, we’re stuck with what Intel wants to feed us. Sure, Intel can do whatever it wants, but it’s not really fair for AMD users.
Edit: spelling.
