Lets see your speedtest results

Im sure alot of people wanna see the difference since EVO is suppose to be a Bad@ss..

please tell whether its a 3G or a 4G test also

Question about speed tests.

During these tests, what acts like a bottle neck? Is it the CPU or would it be the radio? I ask this because if you were to compare the Evo with any other phone on the same wi-fi network...the Evo would be still be faster is download and upload speeds.

So I was just wondering what factors into this. My guess would be the CPU but then again I thought the CPU would only matter in opening programs up and when surfing on 3G/4G.

Actually, during a speed test, there is no bottle neck. The CPU is going to receive the data as fast as it can get it, and that's fast, even with a 528MHz CPU.

The only difference we'll see between the Evo and other devices is web page loading speed since the CPU needs to parse out the HTML. That's where it becomes the bottleneck.

So its the CPU that is responsible for the speeds?

For instance, if you were to put a Hero or a TP2 on a wifi network and an Evo on a wifi network....the Evo would receive faster down/up speeds. So the CPU is responsible for this and not the radio?

Am I correct?

Only if the webpage you are viewing is complex enough, lots of graphics etc... that it is choking out the slower cpu.
(Or your doing encrypted file transfers, SCP for example).

The CPU is rendering the page. So if it is an "intense" page with a lot going on...then yes, a faster CPU would yield better performance. If your just talking about downloading a basic file, then you likely wouldn't see much of any difference.

Well yes, I agree with regular web page viewing.
But say on a purely speed test. Such as Speedtest.net with the Evo and a TP2/Hero connected on the same wi-fi router.....the Evo would perform better. (As in download/upload speeds.)

It just sounded weird to me. Or maybe I just confused myself lol

No, it's the connection that's responsible for the speed of received data. It's the content that needs to be shown (webpages, etc) that are affected by the speed of the CPU.

Yeah, I initially thought they would be the same. But someone did a Speed test comparing the Hero and the Evo, and the Evo got a considerable amount of a speed boost on it. I was left scratching my head. They were both on the same wifi. The only thing I can guess is the radio but its on wifi so I don't know why it would effect it.

Unless something fishy is going on...

This is not my picture, I found it on another forum but take a look at this:

How do I get a screenshot with this thing? I used Shake and Save on my TP2
