Note how this might be "Wifi 6", but it's still 2.4Ghz only and as far as I can see still single antenna (making most mimo functionality useless). Target Wake Time looks like the only feature that might be useful (reduces battery consumption substantially), but few applications can make use of that yet because your product still needs to work if the user has an old router which doesn't support it.

Other ESP32's in the range don't get more than about 20Mbps throughput under ideal conditions, so it probably isn't exactly a beast in the wifi performance department.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't the same silicon with an upgraded firmware to enable this new functionality.
