KUULIZA SIO UJINGA... processor vs internet

[wonderful_wonder]

assuming that you have two laptops,

core i3 ya 3.0 ram ya 4gb…hard disk ya 350gb.
and another one,
core i3 ya 2.0 ram ya 2gb…hard disk ya 350gb.

The 2 laptops are of the same make and they are on the same spot, using wi-fi ama LAN. if one was to download a document from the internet, e.g youtube, would the document download using the same speed and time on the two laptops???

[Chiefkiumbe]

Why don you do it practically ??

[system]

Most likely. Downloading from the internet is not a CPU intensive task nor does it require significant RAM. You could replace that with a Celeron CPU and 1GB RAM and not see any noticeable difference.

Currently, our internet download speeds are much slower than an average HDD read/write speed so HDD is unlikely to be the bottleneck here - the storage size of HDD does not matter.

HDD I/O speed will become an issue in case you use one of those torrent clients that insist on checking file integrity of partially downloaded files before resuming a download.

internet access speed have nothing to do with your processor, its all about your down-link speed and your network adapter spec, you could have a seriously huge down-link but if you use a 10mbps network adapter, that will be like tunneling water from 1 meter diameter pipe to a quarter inch pipe

The question should be how fast can @snapdragon download those laptops from you.

Hehe. The short answer is yes.

Are there HDDs that write at 1Gb/s?

@vnv

Are there HDDs that write at 1Gb/s?

I doubt it but maybe SSD can

That’s too slow for HDD.
1Gbps (Gigabit per second) transfer speed is much much slower than the current 500+ MBps (Megabyte per second) for SSD.

Network speeds
Gbps => Gigabits per second
Mbps => Megabits per second

HDD speeds
MBps => Megabytes per second
GBps => Gigabytes per second (We’re yet to get here)

So with google fibre I can still download with a HDD?

Yes. But you will need to upgrade your NIC to experience the speeds. The normal network cards are not fast enough for that yet (my WiFi card reports a max of 150Mbps and the NIC 100Mbps).
