Why the system bus is a data bus but it is measured in mega hertz instead of megabits?

The frequency denotes the maximum rate of change that the bus can sustain. This is an important figure for the electric design of the device, and a ballpark figure for its general throughput capability.
However, a bus supporting a maximum speed of N MHztypically supports a lower effective throughput (in bits per second), subject to encoding, error detection and recovery protocols, multiplexing and arbitration attributes and others.

Is Data transfer rate expressed in hertz?
Hertz means "machine cycles per second" and is used to measure the processors speed. Data transfer rate which is better known as the bandwidth is usually measured in Mbps or megabits per second.
What unit is sound frequency measured in?
Frequency is measured in hertz. Cycles per second.
Is electricity measured in hertz or kelvin?
hertz.
What is the measurement of frequency of a system bus?
Frequency is measured in Hertz, or cycles per second.
What is the measurement of frequency of a system bus and CPU?
The frequency of activity on a motherboard is measured in megahertz (MHz), or one million cycles per second. The processor operates at a much higher frequency than other components in the system, and its activitiy is measured in gigahertz (GHz), or one billion cycles per second.
What is frequency of wave measured in?
It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
What is measured on hertz?
Frequency
Which of the following is the correct unit of frequency?
Frequency is measured in Hertz. Its symbol is Hz.
What it means for a wave to have a frequency of hertz?
hertz is what frequency waves are measured in.
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
How can a sound wave be measured?
By hertz.
What unit is pitch measured in?
