The biggest benefit I can see is the decoding time as the GPU is 2x more powerful than that of the Quest 2. Virtual desktop breaks down the total latency for you in catagorys...game, encode, network and decode. For me decode is the highest at about 12ms so in theory the Q3 has the opportunity of lowering that a fair bit. The Quest 3 also supports the AV1 codec which should boost visuals but only with an Nvidia 4000 card or AMD 7000
WiFi 6e will certainly help and may allow you to push the bandwidth higher, however so does the Quest pro and people haven't really noticed any latency improvement with that headset.
Keeping in mind of course, the Quest 3 will be harder to run at its native resolution thus creating a higher latency from the computer side which may reduce your potential gains

Yeah, everything you said is spot on. If they can just get the latency down in the 20's I could live with that.
I guess I'm going to have to wait until someone who knows the ins and outs of PCVR to get one in their hands to do some testing.
I would pre order now, but they conveniently didn't announce anything of substance that we didn't already know, and Amazon doesn't have them for sale yet, so I guess I'm just going to wait to see some reviews from the VR streaming community.
Just checked Amazon, and they are now showing up for pre-order.
