Computer processor speed is measured in Hertz, usually in Megahertz or Gigahertz. This is a measure of frequency. and in the context of computer processing units (CPU) the measure is of the number of cycles or completed instructions performed per second.

Computers today make how many computations per second?
You are asking what the processing speed is and the answer varies for individual madels. The speed is measured in parts of a second (rather than by the second) and many newer computers are now built with two processors that work together to further increase the processing speed and capacity.
How have microprocessors and computers influenced the way you communicate today?
they speed it up
How fast are computers today compared to 20 years ago?
Computers have changed considerably in size and speed in the last 20 years. This has made it possible for computers that would once fill a room to fit in your hand.

How Are Computers Used Today?
What speed is the speed of the modem measured in?
Any sort of transfer of the Internet is measured in bits per second. Generally modems or other devices will round to the highest unit they can. Most devices today can measure their transfer speed in megabits per seconds (Mb/s). Older devices, and even slower devices today are measured in kilobits per second (Kb/s). Another thing to keep in mind these are bits, not bytes, a byte is 8 bits.
What are 5 inventions of magnetism used in industry today?
High speed computers,RFID chips,xenon bulbs,maintenance free batteries
How did the microchip change computers during the 1900s?
The invention of the microchip in 1949 - dramatically reduced the physical size of computers.
Enumerate the capabilities and limitation of computer?
Speed, Reliability, Storage Capacity and ProductivityComputers of all sizes have common characteristics -- speed, reliability, storage capacity, and productivity. Computers are the foundation of business, travel, and leisure life today. Computers provide the processing speed required by all facets of society. The quick service we expect at the bank, at the grocery store, on the stock exchange, and on the Internet are dependent on the speed of computers. Can you imagine our world without computers?Computers are extremely reliable as well. Most errors are caused by humans, not computers. Computers are capable of storing enormous amounts of data that must be located and retrieved very quickly. The capability to store and retrieve volumes of data is at the core of the Information Age.
