There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You need to specify which FPGA you are interested in. Please restate the question.

CPU frequency is roughly the number of calculations executed by the processor per second. Depending on the capabilities of each processor, this number could be multiplied by the number of Instructions Per Clock (IPC).

For example if you have a 2 GHz (= 2,000,000,000 Hz or cycles per second or 1/s) processor, this means it executes 2,000,000,000 calculations per seconds. Again this depends also on the IPC.

It is a measure of how many clock cycles a CPU can perform per second. For example, a CPU with a clock rate of 3.6 GHz can perform 3,600,000,000 (3.6 billion) clock cycles (instructions) per second.

Will CPU frequency affect ram I fitted new batt to motherboard and selected default settings And now RAM has dropped in value quite considerably is this due to CPU frequency?

There is no connection between CPU frequency and ram value. But you meant ram frequency then it's possible nowadays motherboards allow to overclock factory settings by setting up higher values for CPU and ram voltages. Usually when you are overclocking FSB the ram frequency changes too.

What is the meaning of a muli core processor frequency?

When you have more than one core in your CPU, you have a multi core CPU. No matter how many cores are in your CPU, everyone of them is working at the same frequency. It is very important to know that when you have a dual core CPU for example and there are two cores wowking at 2Ghz each, your CPU is NOT 4Ghz it is still 2Ghz.
