We present a novel linearizable wait-free queue implementation using single-word CAS instructions. Previous lock-free queue implementations from CAS all have amortized step complexity of $\Omega(p)$ per operation in worst-case executions, where $p$ is the number of processes that access the queue. Our new wait-free queue takes $O(\log p)$ steps per enqueue and $O(\log^2 p +\log q)$ steps per dequeue, where $q$ is the size of the queue. A bounded-space version of the implementation has $O(\log p \log(p+q))$ amortized step complexity per operation.
