I'd like to know how fast the networking is of such boards. As in: read a file and distribute it over ethernet or wireless, in MB/s.
What's the next best indicator? Clock speed? CPU?

Sometimes it's via PCIe (usually pcie to usb+ethernet) chip, then it's usually also line speed. Well, at least till you start using USB3 heavily
Sometimes you just get USB3 NIC or worse, USB2.
Wireless can also be funky, I've noticed using BT and Wifi at same time absolutely destroys wifi speeds on my rPi4
Hell, in theory even builtin MAC doesn't guarantee line speed, all depends on internal architecture.
