What are the units in which processors speed is measured?

GIgaBytes The actual measurement of processors in in GHz. For example, a processor with 3.12GHz is faster than a 2.76GHz processor.


How is the power of processors measured?

The power of processors (computers) are generally measured in MIPS, or Million Instructions Per Second. However, this is a subjective term because it depends on the instruction mix, cache hit/miss ratio, processor versus cache versus memory speed, and various other factors. Benchmark tests for processors are very complex, diverse, and relatively standardized so that useful comparisons can be made from them.


What is the gigahertz chip?

The gigahertz chip measures the computer processor's performance in speed. Processors with a higher gigahertz speed can do more in a given unit of time than processors with a lower gigahertz speed.

What units are clock speeds measured in?

They're measured in Hz, or cycles per second. Modern processors run in the megahertz or gigahertz range.


Computers today make how many computations per second?

You are asking what the processing speed is and the answer varies for individual madels. The speed is measured in parts of a second (rather than by the second) and many newer computers are now built with two processors that work together to further increase the processing speed and capacity.

Why does Intel and AMD processors benchmark at comparable levels when the processor speed is different?

Clock speed is only a useful comparison of speed when two processors share the same architecture. AMD and Intel processors have different internal architectures. At various points in time, one manufacturer had a more efficient architecture than the other, thus providing better performance at a lower clock speed. As of Q2 of 2009, Intel currently offers more efficient processors.
