What Are the Intel® Integrated Connectivity (CNVi) and Companion RF (CRF) Module? Intel® Integrated Connectivity moves key elements of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® Technology into Intel® processors.The solution is comprised of: CNVi, the integrated wireless IP portion of Intel processors A companion RF (CRF) module in M.2 form factor (2230 and 1216 Soldered Down) These Intel® Wireless Adapters are CRF modules that support Intel® Integrated Connectivity: Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX411 Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX211 Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX203 Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX101 Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 Intel® Wireless-AC 9462 Intel® Wireless-AC 9461 These CRFs can only be used with select Intel processors/chipset on systems/motherboards that is specifically designed to support it. All Intel 10th gen Lake CPUs feature an updated Platform Controller Hub with CNVio2 controller with Wi-Fi 6 and external AX201 CRF module support however, I cannot find statement of compatibility for Intel 11th and 12th gen cpu. XPS8950 has Intel 12th gen cpu. do not sure if that is c/w cnvio2.
