Umm I'm learning stuff like this also. I'm not that good at explaining but ill try.
I may be wrong but from what I've researched it somehow takes in a clocksignal and multiplies it inside the central processor unit which then lets the internal circuitry stuff in the CPU work faster and i think it can do this by caching.
In comptia A+ book im going through it says "CPU's with caches spend the majority of their clock cycles performing calaculations and moving data back and forth with in the caches, not sending any data on the external bus.
Not quite sure if that bit was relevent but i gave it a go o.O
Hopefully someone with better knowledge can help

The 486 introduced a method of multiplying the internal clock speed called?
Multiplying the clock is used today to make CPUs faster. The motherboard has a system clock that is slower than the CPU. In order to make CPUs faster they now use a multiplier. For instance if your motherboard speed is 200MHz and the CPU has a 2x multiplier then the CPU runs at 400MHz (2 x 200MHz). Some multipliers are as high as 10x. You would have to check either your BIOS are the manufactorer Web site for your CPU to see how much of a multiplier you have in your CPU. Some systems allow you to manipulate the CPU clock bu making it run faster than it is supposed to, this is called overclocking your CPU and is used mostly by games who want the most speed out of there system.
The CPU clock provides what function?
It determines the speed at which the CPU operates.
Which new technology protects a CPU from heat damage by slowing down the clock rate on the CPU?
It is possible to under clock the CPU through the system BIOS. this slows the CPU, but helps protect from heat damage. Some types of software applications can also change the clock.
What is a definition for CPU throttling?
the ability to modify CPU clock speed as needed
What can improve CPU performance the most?
A faster internal clock speed will improve the performance of the CPU.
How do You fix your CPU Speed?
Your CPU's clock sped can be adjusted from the BIOS, but it is not recommended to do so because it can cause permanent damage to the CPU, RAM or the motherboard due to various reasons like overheating, unsupported clock speed etc.
What is the purpose of the clock in a computer?
Clock speed determines at what speed the CPU works, in fact faster or more the clock speed faster is the processing speed. Every CPU is designed to operate at a definite speed, Over clocking can sometimes lead to malfunction.
Measures how quickly CPU processes data?
Clock Speed
Do Nokia c3 hace CPU?
ofcourse. it can't work without a cpu. even a calculator has cpu. but i don't know what's it's clock speed...
How is a CPU's performance measured 2 ways?
A CPU's performance usually is determined by its clock speed (separated into two values: a multiplier, and a base clock), number of cores, and what most average people don't take into account, is instructions per clock cycle. A base clock is the base unit of speed that the clock runs at. Typically it's at 100MHz. This value is multiplied by the multiplier to get the total clock speed (A CPU running at a clock speed of 3.4GHz will have a multiplier of 34 [34*100 = 3400MHz = 3.4GHz])
Why is the speed of ram and secondary storage an issue for the CPU?
