Dear Anonymous: The chipset
Dear Anonymous:
The chipset model numbers you mention are company-internal numbers. Externally/commercially, they are known as the AR5008 (launched in 2006) and the AR9001 family (launched last year; e.g., AR9160).
FYI, the 10-Watt power consumption number was told to me by Atheros CTO Bill McFarland on Feb. 12, 2008. He said the 11n chips mentioned use "around 10 WATTS for full-mode operation, dual concurrent configuration, with 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously running."
Best, Joanie
