CPU's are now are rated in Ghz which means "Billions of Cycles per Second"
Essentially, the more Ghz the processor has, the faster it will execute instructions. Older computers where rated in mhz which is a million cycles per second. For example, a 2.4 ghz processor is the same as 2400 mhz CPU, or a 500 mhz CPU is the same as a .5 ghz CPU. Single core vs. Dual Core vs. quad core ect, A core is what carries out the instructions. two cores doesn't necessarily mean that the processor will have twice the ghz, but twice the power if the program can take advantage of them.

The current in electrical wiring has a frequency of 60 Hz. What is its speed?
The speed of a current is about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum - in other words, the current travels at a speed of about 200,000 km/sec. This is independent of the frequency.AnswerAlthough the effect of an electric current is felt, more-or-less instantaneously along the length of a conductor, the individual charge carriers move very slowly in the direction of that current. In fact an individual electron is unlikely to travel the length of a flashlight's filament during the lifetime of its battery.
What does the speed of an object depend on?
The speed of an object depends on many things, such as the force that accelerated it, the forces now acting on it, and the object's current speed and mass themselves.
How fast does current travel?
the speed of light 186,300 miles per second
What is the difference between speed and accelaration?
speed means - how fast your going . acceleration - is the change in speed. examples: I was going down the highway at 65mph (current speed). A corvette can accelerate from 30-70mph in 4 sec.
Why there is no current established in a conductor in the absence of electric field although a large number of free electron are moving with high speed?
There can be a large number of free electrons moving at a high speed, with no net current, if the electrons are all moving at random. Random motions are a form a heat, rather than current. You only have a current when significant numbers of electrons are moving in the same direction.
What is base speed?
The base speed of a DC motor is the speed at which it operates while delivering rated torque with rated armature voltage and field current applied.
What is the speed of one of the fastest CPUs within the family?
pentium 4
Does the battery power on laptops with slower CPUs typically last longer?
Slower CPU's do not necessarily use less power, but slowing down the speed of your current processor, will save your battery.
Does a Dual core 3.4ghz CPU have a speed of 3.4ghz or 6.8ghz?
Dual core means two CPUs so what you really have is to CPUs each run at the speed of 3.4 Ghz and not one CPU that runs at 6.8GHz... Programming your Life...
Give the price of high speed processor?
It's impossible to answer this question. There are hundreds of high speed processors. Be more accurate. There are CPUs that cost more than $1000 and there are also CPUs that cost $300. If you need it for a server or heavy rendering - $1000, if gaming $300.
Are most CPUs are collections of digital circuits imprinted on silicon wafers?
Physical Characteristics of the CPU* Most CPUs are collections of digital circuits imprinted on silicon wafers, or chips, each no bigger than the tip of a pencil eraser. * To turn a digital circuit on or off within the CPU, electrical current must flow through a medium (usually silicon) from point A to point B. * The speed the current travels between points can be increased by either reducing the distance between the points or reducing the resistance of the medium to the electrical current.
Can you run an AMD Athlon MP 900 with an AMD Athlon 1900 on your dual processor motherboard?
No. If you want to run dual processors, they need to both be the same speed, and either "MP" (multiprocessor) versions, or hacked 'normal' CPUs (there is a way of making normal CPUs report they are MP CPUs)
Average speed is indicated on the speedometer?
I would call it current speed, not average speed.
What causes speed drop in motor?
1) If current, at 'on load' condition, reach or cross its rated value, then the speed of the motor will be decreased. 2) If there is any voltage droop occurs in the incoming supply then the speed of the motor will be decreased.
What is rated voltage and current in transformers and how to calculate them if given 50k VA?
Rated voltage is the voltage at primary side. Rated current can be found from the equation, Rated Current= Output KVA / Output rated voltage
Do TV's have CPUs?
Yes most technology have cpus.
What is the difference between nominal current and rated current of circit breaker?
They are the same.
