What else can I help you with?
What exactly is the GHz mentioned with a processor configuration is it most important factor to processor speed?
The GHz is the clock frequency. It is important for processor speed but the number of kernels is even more important as each kernel can do processing independently from the others.
What does a fast clock do to the performance of the CPU?
Increasing the clock-speed of a processor increases its performance. There is so much more that goes into the overall performance of a processor (cache speed, cache size, hit / miss frequency on L1 and L2 cache, cycle recovery time on the cache, architecture, core efficiency, pipeline length, and northbridge frequency just to name a few) However, simply increasing a processor's clock speed WILL improve its performance, to an extent. Fast clock speeds send more calculations through the processor cores more frequently, thus leading to your increased performance. If it is pushed too high, a processor begins to see diminishing returns as more cache misses, overheating, and voltage inefficiency start setting in. Always consider properly researching this matter before considering raising the clock speed of your processor.
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.
Which is more powerful the current Celeron processor or the current Xeon processor?
The Xeon processor is stronger than the Celeron processor.
What can the processor execute more of with a faster clock speed?
Instructions
What controls the speed of the CPU?
1. Fab process. 45nm and 32nm allows to pack more transistor in a chip with less charge leakage and heat dissipation. 2. Clock frequency: higher clock frequency increases power consumption </a> as well as thermal dissipation. http://www.datadep.org
How do you increase processor clock rate?
By increasing the clock rate, the microprocessor's speed can be increased but with a cost of more heat generation, which may sometimes rupture the processor.
How can the installation of RAM affect the clock speed of the processor?
It doesn't; the clock speed of your RAM is governed by your Front Side Bus clock frequency. With more RAM installed your PC will run faster, but the CPU clock speed is not responsible for this. Actually,installing RAM would never effect the processor speed .AS there is a clock generator(eg:8284-A which was being used in the 8086 processor long back) which determines the clock of of the processor which in term is responsible for the speed of the processor.for eg:Every read or write operation takes 4 clock cycle for instance & if ur processor's clock speed is 1 mega hZ frequency i.e a clock pulse is of 1 micro seconds i.e ur write operation will take 4 micro sec & suppose my processors's clock speed is 2 mega hZ frequency i.e a clock pulse is of 0.5 micro seconds i.e my write operation will take only 2 micro second. now what actually RAm is? it is just a temporary memmory provided to the prcessor for communication. processor hardly communicates with the hard disk. whatever data is required by processor it is first transfered to the RAm first and processor retrives it from there.so if u have larger RAm large data can be stored in it & would not want it regularly from the hard disk. there r a lot of other things involved like the type of architecture and cache memmory.however ,i hope i would have answered to this question.

What is the clock in a microprocessor?
The clock is the amount of GHZ the processor can handle. For example, the clock of a Core2Duo is of 2.4GHZ. Overclocking means increasing the GHZ's the processor can handle but you will need a lot of cooling since the fan is not designed to handle such high GHZ's the people want.
Which is more powerful the current Celeron or the current Zeon processor?
Xeon
What is the definition of microprocessor internal speed?
Measurements of Internal Microprocessor Speed: Clock Frequency: How many computational "Clock Cycles" a processor can perform per second. This number is almost always measured in a Hz value, and in modern times a Gigahertz value, or GHz IPC: Instructions per Clock. How many instructions a processor can compute per Clock Cycle. This is more important for real-world speed than the Clock Frequency, as a processor with 20 IPC at 2GHz is just as fast, or even faster than a 10 IPC at 4GHz processor. This is due to Branch Prediction errors, cache delay, and the fact the processor does twice the calculations per cycle. FLOPS- Floating Point Operations Per Second. These are processor operations that are a bit more complex than Instructions, but still fairly simple. A processor's FLOP count is measured in an effort to put a number on the processor's "Real World" performance-- in a better light than Frequency and IPC. In today's world, you may hear these called Giga-Flops or Tera-Flops, just like the Gigahertz mentioned above. There are other, smaller things, such as cycles lost per prediction / instruction error, internal latency, cache, speed, and the sort, but they typically show up in one or all of the above mentioned measurements.
Why use many powerful processors working in parallel?
Don't let their speed in Ghz fool you: each core in a multi-core processor is more powerful than a processor of the previous generation. The motivation for using processors at a lower clock rate and use them in parallel is to 1.) reduce heat and electrical requirements, and 2.) to facilitate better performance for apllications by creating more hardware thread
