A Chip like no other. The custom silicone that will be delivered to customers will be un-like any other silicone on the market, and will no question cause an irreparable ripple affect to Wi-Fi. The moment another semiconductor company even acknowledges the existence of MLX 488 or a future variation of it will be enough to tip the scale.
