802.11ac is an incomplete standard relating to hardware. Manufacturers are coming out with a second generation of draft hardware that adds dual-MIMO.
The current hardware can give up to 2x speeds in an uncrowded spectrum, or slightly better distance performance (provided you upgrade the hardware on both sides of the connection, eg.: Router and Laptop/computer).
