Here is a short explanation.
Clock rate or clock speed is the speed at which a microprocessor (CPU) executes instructions. Clock speeds are typically expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz ((GHz). A single clock cycle (usually shorter than a nanosecond in modern non-embedded microprocessors) toggles between a logical zero and a logical one state.

What is a measurement of the clock speed?
The clock speed is measures in Mega Hertz (MHz)
Is clock speed is measured in bytes?
No. Clock Speed is measured in Megahertz(MHz)
What is the clock rate of a laptop?
Laptops do not have a specific clock speed. The clock speed of the specific processor that is in the laptop determines the clock rate of the computer. For example, my computer runs at a clock speed of 2 GHz. Some computers even have clock speeds close to 4 GHz.
If clock speed increases then what happens to processor speed?
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.
What is the pace of the system clock called?
The pace of the system clock, called the clock speed, is measured by the number of ticks per second. The faster the clock speed, the more instruction the processor can execute per second.
What does clock rate do on packet tracer?
A clock-rate is the speed at which the Serial connection sends data to another router and each connection must match the others clock-speed or a speed mismatch error will occur. For packet tracer, the clock-rate has no effect.
Which is better Core2duo or amd turion?
Depends on what their Clock Speed Is, Clock Speed Is measured in GHz, the higher the number the better the processor. For Instance an Intel Core 2 Duo could have a clock speed of 2.00 GHz and that would be better than a AMD Turion Clock speed of 1.73 GHz.
Does GHz represent processor?
No. It represents the clock speed of the processor. The clock speed is usually misinterpreted by many as the power of the processor, but the physical design of the processor has far more to do with the processors throughput than the clock speed itself.
What is the pace of the systems clock called?
The pace of the system clock, called the clock speed, is measured by the number of ticks per second. The faster the clock speed, the more instruction the processor can execute per second.
What is procesor ram cach clock speed?
The processor RAM Cach clock speed ranges between 3.3 to 4.00 GHz.
Why clock does not run fast when we keep new cell?
The whole idea of the clock is to run at a uniform speed, so the clock includes control mechanisms to keep its speed reasonably constant.
What is Core Clock in computers?
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.
