Valorant: Extreme low latency with Intel® Wi-Fi 6

Valorant is the new tactical shooter from Riot Games, which is supposed to compete with the top dog Counter Strike. The game is currently still in the beta phase. You can access it via so-called Twitch drops. Watch streams from Valorant and get a chance to win a key for the beta.

Once you have received a key, you can expect ten different agents, all of which have special abilities and give the tactical shooter genre a new twist. The purchase phase at the beginning of each round and the ordinary weapons are reminiscent of Counter Strike.

Of course, a stable and fast Internet connection is indispensable for a multiplayer shooter designed for e-sports. And that's also where the 10th generation Intel® Core™ processors come into play. They bring the latest Wi-Fi technology with Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig ), which ensures an extremely low latency and is thus optimally designed for multiplayer games.
