Even with 1Gbps Ethernet throughput it won't generally be reported as such in speed tests. Factoring in TCP/IP overheads and without jumbo frames you're probably going to see something more like 930-940Mbps reported in tests (depending on what exactly they're measuring).

The DOCSIS profile is in excess of 1Gbps but you're not going to see that in modem mode when limited to a single gigabit port.

I do wonder how some routers will behave e.g. in terms of latency and QoS when they're maxed out in terms of forwarding throughput.
