The processor speed determines how fast a program runs. The more clockspeed a CPU has the faster it reads the instructions.
nothing to do with the computer, its the processor the determines that (u can get processor upgrades)
The processor (obviously)
A computer's processor determines the speed. The bigger the processor, the faster the computer. If you're interested in speed over the long-haul, buy the best processor your budget allows.
The number of clock cycles per minute which determines the spped of le system
The average clock speed for a home PC is typically around 2-3 GHz (gigahertz). This speed determines how many calculations a processor can perform in a second. It can vary depending on the specific model and generation of the processor.
Components in a PC that determines speed are: RAM, Processor, and Hard Drive. In rare cases, the Motherboard.
Th clock speed is the processor speed. It is simply the amout of operations the processor can do per second. However if the processor has multiple cores, it will be as fast as number of cores * clock speed. Note that the processor speed is not the overall computer speed.
Your question is not very clear but do you mean "what determines the speed of a laptop?" Well the speed of a laptop varies just like a desktop depending mostly on the processor and how much RAM (random access memory) it has.
speed of a processor is measured by CMU(Clock Multiplier Unit). Formula:(speed of processor in Hz)/(FSB of processor)= CMU
The two major factors that affect processing speed are clock speed and the number of cores in a processor. Clock speed measures how many cycles a CPU can execute per second, while the number of cores determines how many tasks a CPU can handle simultaneously. Both factors play a significant role in determining the overall speed and performance of a processor.
The processor is a part of your computer that executes commands to the rest of the computer, it tells the other pieces what to do, which is why the speed of it determines how many actions it can perform, the faster the better obviously.
The only way to increase the processor speed is by overclocking. Through overclocking, you can increase the overall speed of the processor.
