I am wondering if any those numbers are limited by Internet Speed. And we need to continue to push that number until it reaches 1Gbps. I still wish 5G private network / Uni5G had took off.

The article is confusing Apple's N1 chip with their C1X chip. This is WiFi test, not 4G/5G. This means the N1 chip is faster than the Broadcom networking chip it replaced for WiFi.
