Okey, that is a 802.11ab (11Mbps) chip. My experiences were only with

Ermm. 802.11a is 54Mbps ...
The world of 802.11 is more complex than those of you that do not write
specs should care about.
Yes, 11a is 54Mb. So is 11g at 2.4Ghz. There is lots written on the
pains of frequencies, modulations, the FCC, other users of said
frequencies (like military), and other national boards (like Japan) that
points to why things are as they are in 802.11 world.
My 'rule-of-thumb' for 11g vs 11a is:
For general use, 11g is better than 11a for coverage and material
penetration.
For multi-occupancy environments (shared office buildings and
apartments) the additional channels with 11a easy balance against the
pain of negotiating, or just fighting over use of the channels.
Also home entertainment and particularly music will benefit from 11a
over 11g. And 11n over either...
