Computer processing speed is never measured in units of Hertz (doing so is highly deceiving), it is measured one of several ways:
- IPS - Instructions Per Second - average number of instructions per second.
- FLOPS - FLoating point Operations Per Second - average number of floating point operations per second (on some machines one instruction can do several floating point operations).
- Whetstone - a standardized measure of floating point performance.
- Dhrystone - a standardized measure of integer performance.
- Livermore loops - a test of vector performance on highly parallel computers.
- Tak - a test of recursion performance.
- POV-Ray - a test of 3D rendering performance.
- etc.
The most accurate measure of computer processing speed is how fast a computer is able to execute your final complete application. Unfortunately this software is almost never available when you need it for processor selection.

What is the processing speed of a microcomputer?
Current computer processor speed is about 2ghz, but older models are still in use. Average computer processing speed has increased dramatically in recent years.
What is off-line processing of files in computer?
Offline processing refers to processes being redirected from the central processing unit cache into the random access memory units. Speed of processing is inversly proportional to the clock speed of the memory bus in the cpu.
What is Core Clock in computers?
Core clock is the actual speed at which the graphics processor on a video card on a computer operates. The core clock speed is measured in megahertz.
What does the CPU do in a computer and how is its speed measured?
Almost all modern CPU's are measured in mhz. Most are fast enough to have a ghz rating. Such as 2400 mhz would be 2.4 ghz. This reflects the clock speed default on the CPU.
What is a petafop?
A petaflop is a measure of a computer's processing speed:- A thousand trillion floating point operations per second (FLOPS)
How is processer speed measured?
Computer processing speed is measured in IPS (Instructions per second).
What is processing speed in the computer measured in?
Hertz Maiga Hz
What is the speed rating computers are measured in today?
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.
Why is the width of the data bus so important to the processing speed of the Computer?
processing speed of the computer will be increased when the data bus is wider
What word describes the speed of a computer?
the computer's speed is measured in gigahertz (GHZ)
What is register speed measured in?
Processor's speed is measured in Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS).The larger the size of the Register speedier is the processing.
What does it mean if you have a computer speed of 513MHz?
this means your computer have a processor with 513 MHz processing speed.
How do buses contribute to a computer's processing speed?
How do buses contribute to an computer
What is the speed spuer computer are measured in?
Gigaflops
How is the CPU speed measured in a computer?
MHz or GHz
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.
How can i tell my computer make and processing speed?
You can tell your computer's make and processing speed by checking out System Properties in Windows. On Windows 7 & Vista, just right click the Computer icon and select Properties.
