The claim is 5 Gbps at a distance of 9.1 meters using a 5 x 5 mm chip with a 1 mm antenna. Power 2 W. Cost 10 USD. Frequency 60 GHz.
For real or just vapor?
5 Gbps wireless good for 9 meters?

Real. One of the things that makes it practical is water vapor - shorter range, but less interference from other transmitters in the same band, due to O2 and H2O absorbtion.
You may see more finessed solutions (e.g. OFDM) soon. Cost will be lower, too. Also see:

the pricing may be at the 10K, 100K or some other point, for marketering fun!
