GHz
Wrong. The performance of a CPU is measured in MiPs or MFLOPS
The clock speed of a processor is in GHz, but does next to nothing in determining the actual performance of a processor. A 4GHz pentium 4 can't even shake a stick at a modern-day processor clocked at 3GHz.

hertz- refreshes per second
trips- opperations per second
A faster internal clock speed will improve the performance of the CPU.

CPU processing power is measured in GHz (Giga Hurtz)
MHz
mega hertz
Gigahertz (GHz) = speed
The performance of a CPU is least affected by its age, its size and weight. Performance is instead determined by model, clock speed and size of cache.
It might not be your CPU at fault, maybe your other hardware can't keep up with your CPU and your CPU has to slow down for them. If you think that this is not the case, you can always go to your bios and overclock your CPU.
The CPU speed, and processor speed is the amount of cycles that a CPU can perform per second.CPU speed is not a good indicator of CPU performance.
