Intel sells two versions of their WiFi cards: ones ending in 1 use CNVI protocol and work only with Intel chips. These are sold really cheap to OEMs; ones ending in 0 use standard PCIe and are sold to OEMs for ~$10 more.
AMD decided to brand Mediatek's MT7921 and MT7922 as RZ608 and RZ616 to have something to sell to OEMs at the same price point as Intel's xx1 chips.
