With 5G slowly gaining traction to the point where the standard is expected to officially roll out next year, companies like Intel don’t want to waste a second on this opportunity. The processor manufacturer today announced a brand new 5G modem called the XMM 8160 that will arrive in 2020 and with it, you can expect a new threshold of wireless speeds to be achieved.

Intel’s XMM 8160 5G solution will offer an ‘all in one’ solution for the company’s partners. This means that the chip will not just take care of 5G connectivity but will also be backward compatible with the 4G, 3G, and even 2G standard. Being smaller than a penny and made on the 10nm process will ensure that the XMM 8160 will consume less power and dissipate less heat while occupying less space.
