Hello,
thanks for reporting this issue,

To be precise, the Dell product page referred here should be the Ubuntu preloaded "developer edition" [1].
And we do have several Ubuntu preloaded XPS 13 laptops that ship with the Killer wifi chip [2].

Indeed, this is differ from the Wifi chip listed on Dell's website a "Killer 1435 802.11ac 2x2 and Bluetooth" combo card.

But don't worry, the card is still the same, it's just the name.
This is probably caused by the PCI ID database, this family tree (for chips with PCI ID 168c:003e) was called Killer N1525 at the very beginning. And it's now called "QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter"

I have proposed a fix to this database, to make this specific chip identified as "Killer 1435 Wireless-AC".

Cheers
