Hertz is the SI unit for frequency. 1 Hertz equals 1 cycle per second. Mega is the prefix meaning 1 million. So one MegaHertz (MHz) is one million Hertz or one million cycles per second. When referring to say a computer processor running at 2000 MHz, this means that the core clock speed of the processor is switching (or changing state) 2000 000 000 times each second.

What does mhz in computer terms?
mHz means milli hertz, MHz means mega hertz. Hertz is a measure of frequency, or cycles per second. milli hertz is how many cycles per millisecond or 0.001 seconds.
How is a video card measured?
Video Cards: Main targets to measured in a VGA are GPU (graphic processing unit) Clock speed in MHz (Mega Hertz), Size of the memory bus in bits, Amount of available memory in Mega Bytes, Memory bandwidth in GB/s (Giga Bytes per second), RAMDAC speed MHz (Mega Hertz), Memory clock rate MHz (Mega Hertz) and most important if you don't want to remember all this FPS (frames per second) which defines how many complete images can display per second, normally if you required a high definition VGA for a particular application or a game, verify the requirements on the application or game before acquiring one, normally a game will require to function at a rate of 60 < FPS.
What do you get when you cross a computer with a vicious dog?
The answer is A MEGA
Which is faster 2GHZ or 5MHZ?
2GHz is faster then 5 MHz. Removing the Hz part of it which means Hertz. a G in computer terminology is Giga and a M in computer terminology is Mega Now put it together. Gigahertz Megahertz. in computing a byte is 1024 peices of data. their is 1024 bytes in a kilo byte and 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte and 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte. it's the same thing with hertz. Hope that solved your question
What is the measure of cycles per second in computer processing?
A 'Hertz' is a cycle of once a second. A megaHertz is a million cycles per second.
What is the time it takes to locate and retrieve data?
Mega Hertz.........
What is more a 300 MHz processor speed or a 2.08 GHz processor speed?
2.08 GHZ would be the faster speed. MHz =Mega Hertz HGz =Giga Hertz 1 Giga Hertz = 1000 Mega Hertz
How is the CPU's speed measured?
mega hertz
What is the full form of mhz?
mega hertz
What units do you give frequency?
cycles ie; kilocycles or hertz ie; mega hertz
What the letters MHz mean?
The M is short for Mega, which is 1 million. The Hz is short for Hertz, the measure of frequency. MHz is therefore short for Mega Hertz, or 1 million Hertz.
Does 1 mega hertz equal 1000 times of frequency in a minute?
the prefix mega implies million, so one megahertz is one million hertz
What is the measure of frequency?
Hertz is the measurement. A Mega and a Giga is the unit of measurement of a Hertz.
Is Hz higher than MHz or GHz?
No. Hz is the basic unit. MHz is "mega hertz," and mega means 1,000,000. GHz is "giga hertz" and giga means 1,000,000,000.
Si prefix for mega?
The prefix mega has the meaning of 1 million.
Is the time it take to locate and retrieve data?
Mega Hertz.........
What does the abbreviation MHz stand for?
Mhz stands for Mega Hertz
