It tells you how many operations per second your processor is capable to do. The higher frequency is better. Also you have to take in count a number of cores.

What unit of frequency is use to measure processor speed?

The measurement of processor core frequency is defined in the name of Hertz, which is for cycles per second (this is the frequency you refer to.) This is an electromagnetic waveform frequency. One high and low of the waveform would be equal to one Hertz measurement cycle.

The speed at which at processor operates internally is called what?

There are a number of terms relating to processor speed. The most common frequency is simply the clock frequency. There are others such as a PLL frequency that can be used to multiply the clock frequency and instruction cycle frequency that is usually lower than the basic clock frequency. In all cases, the processor data sheet or the mother board data sheet will identify the name of the frequencies to which it refers.
