Best Answer

you go in to BIOS. How ? when you start up you PC Before windows bootup

you press delete or f11-f9 it differs for every motherboard but Del is the most common. And you find it in one of the settings

most likley

under advanced bios or frequency.

You measure it in GHz by checking its clock speed, the clock speed is synched with the CPU meaning it will perform as many operations as the clock speed is set to, you can increase your clock speed by overclocking so the CPU speed would change.

I went a bit off point but I hope that helps.

What is the CPU use for?

CPU = Central Processing Unit This is where all the processing takes place inside the computer. CPU's are built in varying speeds - the higher the number the faster it is. Answer: It processes the data using the registers inside the CPU. These are of different types and have different purpose of use. Due to these registers the CPU done processing.


Are speeds in Britain measured in kilometres per hour?

Britain's speeds are signed in mph. (Car speedometers measure in mph, but coach and lorry tachographs measure in kph.)


What is unit of CPU speed?

Depends on the benchmark used to measure:KOPS or KIPS - measure of instructions executed per secondMFLOPS - measure of floating point operations per secondWhetstones - measure of overall floating point performanceDrystones - measure of overall integer performance.Livermore loops - measure of computing and looping performanceetc. etc.Never measure CPU speed by the clock speed. Different architectures and implementations of the same architecture can give dramatically different speeds on real applications even with the CPUs running on the same clock.One example of this occurred when Apple first started making Macs using the PowerPC. Power Macs could run in software emulation of the Intel Pentium Windows applications much faster than the existing PCs, even though the PCs operated on faster clock speeds and were running the code native.


Is the system bus or the CPU faster?

The system bus is usually inside of the CPU, but I guess it depends on the processor and the motherboard. Usually, CPU clock speeds are faster, as they are measured in GHz, while the system bus speed is usually measured in MHz. Hope this helped! SeanHolshouser


How can the temperature of a CPU be found?

To check the temperature of a CPU, one must download some software for this purpose. Core Temp and Real Temp are two programs that can help measure the temperature of the CPU.


Will there be a point of time when Intel or AMD can no longer produce faster CPU speeds?

We're already in that time. That's why they're producing dual core, quad core, etc CPUs now. Instead of making a faster CPU, they're producing chips that have more then one CPU on them.

Two components that must use the same front side bus speed are the processor and the system board. However, modern computer system boards support a range of FSB speeds and hence a range of processors.
