ASUS has released the ROG Octopus 7 AI gaming router. The new product features a space-age design with a transparent window, high data transfer speeds, and an NPU to accelerate AI tasks. The router is based on a Broadcom quad-core  A quad-core processor is a chip with four independent units called cores that read and execute central processing unit (CPU) instructions such as add, move data, and branch., processor with a clock speed of 2.6 GHz, 4 GB of DDR4 RAMRandom Access Memory (RAM) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computers processor., and 32 GB of eMMC flash memory. The NPU is part of the processor and has a computing power of up to 7.9 TOPS, enabling AI functions and increased data transfer speeds.The router has a pair of 10G ports and tri-band Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a type of wireless networking protocol that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables. Wi-Fi is technically an industry term that represents a type of wireless local area network (LAN) protocol based on the 802.11 IEEE network standard. It is the most popular means of communicating data wirelessly, within a fixed location, today. with a maximum data transfer speed of up to 13,000 Mbps. According to the manufacturer, when using the router in the ROG ecosystem, users will have access to exclusive acceleration channels that reduce latency by 47%.Thanks to its neural network processor, the router also supports an AI-based acceleration feature. For example, the system automatically monitors the network status and disables unused features to save power.
