Generally when talking about CPUs or Memory, or any chipset used in electronic devices, the clock refers to the speed of the chip. It is measured in frequency and MHz stands for Mega Hertz. 500 MHz would be very slow for a computer while it would be just fine for a cell phone. Most computers today are around 2.5 GHz to 4.0 GHz. It takes 1000 MHz to make 1 GHz.

What is the clock speed of 8085 mp?

The clock speed of the 8085 depends on the particular chip chosen. The basic 8085 could run up to around 3 MHz. The -1 version could run up to around 6 MHz. The -2 version could run up to around 5 MHz. In each case, the crystal frequency had to be exactly twice the desired clock frequency, i.e. 6 Mhz, 12 MHz, and 10 MHz, respectively. In all cases, the minimum clock frequency was 500 KHz. (Crystal 1 MHz)


Is geforce gtx 295 better than evga geforce gtx480?

No, the Geforce GTX 480 should beat the GTX 295 statistically speaking (although they are close in performance): Geforce GTX 295: -Core Clock: 576 MHz -Shader Clock: 1242 MHz -Memory Clock: 1000 MHz -Processing Cores: 480 Geforce GTX 480: -Core Clock: 700 MHz -Shader Clock: 1401 MHz -Memory Clock: 1848 MHz -Processing Cores: 480


What will happen if crystal frequency of 8085 is increased from 5 to 20 MHz?

Since the 8085 has a maximum clock frequency of 6 MHz, increasing the crystal frequency from 5 MHz to 20 MHz, a corresponding clock frequency change of 2.5 MHz to 10 MHz, the chip would malfunction.

What is an Intel Pentium 4 500 MHz?

No Intel Pentium 4 processor was ever manufactured running at a clock speed of 500MHz. However, the previous product line, the Pentium III, had several variants running at that clock speed.
