Yes,its right the frequency is measured in GIGAHERTZ like you read 3.2 gHz that is giga Hertz. The Usual unit is Hertz but like we add mega,giga,tera to define a large quantity.
Yes, core frequency is typically measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). It refers to the speed at which a processor's cores can execute instructions.
Hertz is the measurement of cycles per second. The range that microprocessors use for personal computers are currently: Megahertz Gigahertz
Processor speed is benchmarked in terms of Hertz (Hz), or some derived unit of it (MHz = Megahertz, GHz = Gigahertz). It may also be measured in FLOPS, or Floating-Point Operations Per Seconds, or its derived units (MegaFLOPS, GigaFLOPS, TeraFLOPS, etc).
The Intel core i7 processor processes data at at least 3 gigahertz. Laptops with this processor are such as the Asus K52JT-XT1 and the HP Envy 15-1050nr.
what the heck are you talking about
Core clock is the actual speed at which the graphics processor on a video card on a computer operates. The core clock speed is measured in megahertz.
The measurement of processor core frequency is defined in the name of Hertz, which is for cycles per second (this is the frequency you refer to.) This is an electromagnetic waveform frequency. One high and low of the waveform would be equal to one Hertz measurement cycle.
Processor makers have moved past Gigahertz and really don't promote it as it doesn't have a direct correlation to performance.Overclockers have made Pentium 4's run at 5.2 gigahertz,but the fastest clockspeed available is 3.3GHz Intel Core i7-975 Extreme edition.The quad core version costs 1000$ just for the processor.

Dual core?
FSB, frequency, and cache size.
Gigahertz are a lousy measurement of performance. A more efficient processor can offer higher performance at a lower clock rate. So as long as you have a better TYPE of processor, the labeled speed doesn't matter. The requirements list a 2 Ghz Pentium 4. If you have a Core Solo, Core Duo, or a Core 2 Duo, you'll be just fine.
