Best to learn how computers work. All the data being benched is running through the CPU as well. Every bit of it.

Some NICs use to have an independent processor like graphics cards use, but as fast as computers are now, not really a need. In mobile devices this would be another drain on the battery. Even so, CPU is going to touch every bit of data even so, probably at least twice. At least once in the kernel, once for the app and maybe even a few more times depending on what the app is doing with the data. CPU and RAM are a big part of how fast any device is.

I just want to say wow. I installed same speed test software as OP, and ran some tests last week I then e-mailed the results to myself, as I too planned on comparing what my Hero did to what the Evo can do.

The difference in speeds between the Hero and Evo just blow me away, and is a HUGE factor for me. 90% of my use is over Wifi. And my Hero results were just about exact to what OP's Hero results show. So if my Evo does what his Evo does????

Just wow. Again, thank you for posting this!!!!!

To the OP, thanks for posting your results. I don't know what is wrong with some of the people in this thread.

And yes, processor speed will matter in a speed test like this. Also, the wifi radio quality will matter. Things look good for the Evo.

This is OT, but I'm curious. Does your name happen to refer to the former CART team that is currently known as Andretti Autosport?

thats the premium rich data experience at its finest right there..

hhhmmm...

to the OP.. great test .. that does show great potential for the $10 /month charge..

Can you do same test... over 3G and 4G? please do next to each other, but not at the same time. 3 times.. and then average them....show us all the results. I would do these test and show.. if I had an EVO :p

that would really give us a good reason to feel better for the $10 fee (premium experience) :eek:

The cpu is certainly important. On these devices that is your primary bottle neck and it won't matter how fast your connection is when your cpu is bottle necked.

No. The CPU is not the bottleneck when you're testing internet connection speed. (What a great day that will be when it is!) Speedtest.net is designed to report internet connection speed and should be independent of hardware (for the most part). In my house there are five computers (of various ages and speeds), a cell phone and an old PDA that all report about the same speed on Speedtest.net.

This test tells us that either:
1. There is something wrong with Speedtest.net.
or
2. There is something wrong with the Hero or EVO (depending on what his internet connection speed really is).
