A gigahertz is a measure of frequency.
Giga means billion, hertz means frequency. Therefore, a gigahertz is a frequency measurement of One Billion (1,000,000,000) hertz.

What is a CPU measured in?
Gigahertz (GHz) = speed
What is CPU speed is measured in?
GigaHertz (GHz) or MegaHertz (MHz) Gigahertz is much faster
What is processor speed mesured by?
It's measured in Gigahertz (GHz)
What word describes the speed of a computer?
the computer's speed is measured in gigahertz (GHZ)
CPU is measured in what?
-Hertz. Or cycles per second. Megahertz, GigaHertz, etc.
What is microprocessor measured by?
The processor or CPU of a computer is measure by the speed of the calculations it makes. This speed is presently being measured in gigahertz.
Is processor core frequency measured in gigahertz?
Yes,its right the frequency is measured in GIGAHERTZ like you read 3.2 gHz that is giga Hertz. The Usual unit is Hertz but like we add mega,giga,tera to define a large quantity.
What is the processor speed of an iPad?
i am not sure what processer is in the ipad but a computer speeds are measured in Gigahertz per second (GHz)​
What units are clock speeds measured in?
They're measured in Hz, or cycles per second. Modern processors run in the megahertz or gigahertz range.
What is the pace of a system clock on a computer measured by?
The unit of measurement used to measure a computerâ??s clock speed is called a hertz, A computerâ??s clock speed is normally measured in megahertz or gigahertz. A megahertz is one million ticks per second and one gigahertz is one billion ticks per second.
How is processing power measured?
Processing power is generally measured in Hertz, with most modern computers running into the Gigahertz. Processing power is more complicated though, with concepts like MIPS, Flops an pipelining.
The speed of Microcomputer is measured in?
it is measured in GB gigabytes. also measured in newtons The memory is measured in MB's, and GB. If you purchase a stick of 128MB, you don't refer to it as a quarter of a gig, this is why it is measured in both.
