What unit is a processer speed measured in?

Answer 1

The performance or speed of a processor depends on e.g. the clock rate and the Instructions Per Clock (IPC), which together are the factors for the Instructions per second (IPS) that the CPU can perform.

So speed of processor can be measured by IPS alone.

Answer 2

Answer 1:

Processor speed can be measured in HZ(hertz).

It will be depends on the Processor Clock Cycles.

Answer 2:

Processor CLOCK speed is measure in cycles per second, Hertz (Hz), though in this case cycles per second are instructions per second. Note that a processor's performance is also measured by its Cache size.

Answer 3

Hertz Hertz (cycles per second) measures the clock speed of the CPU. Usually you will see MHz (MegaHertz = one million Hertz) or GHz (GigaHerz = one billion Hertz). see http://www.answers.com/topic/mhz-technology You may also measure FLOPS (FLoating point Operations Per Second) or MegaFLOPS or TFLOPS. see http://www.answers.com/topic/flops

Answer 4

They're measured in Hz, or cycles per second. Modern processors run in the megahertz or gigahertz range.

Answer 5

Usually the unit of measurement is Ghz, which is short for gigahertz.

Answer 6

Hz

Khz = 1000 hz
Mhz = 1m hz (1000 khz)
Ghz = 1000m hz (1000Mhz, 1mKhz)

Answer 7

GIGAHERTZ
