Not really :-)

CPUs are measured in terms of instructions per second or calculations per second. At the lowest machine level, computer instructions will take 1 or more clock cycles to execute; because these machine instructions are variable, many people focus on the clock speed as an indication of processor performance.

That is why processors are often talked about in frequency terms (i.e. megahertz or gigahertz), but this is not strictly speaking a measurement of processor speed -- but it is closely related.

Megabytes and gigabytes are used to measure memory or disk size.

What is the unit of measurement of memory and speed in computer?

The memory of a computer is measured in bits, most commonly megabytes (MB) and gigabytes (GB). The speed of a computer is measured in Ghz.


Processor speed is measured in Gigabytes?

yes


The speed of Microcomputer is measured in?

it is measured in GB gigabytes. also measured in newtons The memory is measured in MB's, and GB. If you purchase a stick of 128MB, you don't refer to it as a quarter of a gig, this is why it is measured in both.


What is the CPU clock speed of the Blackberry torch?

The CPU clock speed of the Blackberry torch is 624 megahertz. It also features 512 megabytes of internal flash memory and 4 gigabytes of built in storage memory.


Which memory clock rate is best for a 1333Mhz FSB?

Anything over a gigabyte would be ideal for that processor speed.


Is clock speed is measured in bytes?

No, clock speed is not measured in bytes. Clock speed is a measure of how many cycles a computer's CPU can perform in a second, typically measured in Hertz (Hz) or gigahertz (GHz). Bytes, on the other hand, measure data size or storage capacity.


What is more a GB or a ghz?

A gb and a ghz are completely different things. A gb is a measure of the memory of a computer and ghz is a measure of frequency and is used to measure your procesor's clock speed.


Clock speed is measured in MIPs?

MHz

megahertz


What is the difference between 64GB 1600MHz RAM and 64GB 2133MHz?

Its basically the clock speed. 64 GB is just the storage its of no use here. The MHz value gives us the clock frequency i.e how fast the computer can work at its maximum capacity. So obviously higher the clock speed the faster the computer can process its operations.


What is the pace of system clock that is measured by the number of ticks per second called?

The pace of the system clock measured by the number of ticks per second is called the clock speed. This refers to how many processing cycles the clock completes in one second. It is often measured in hertz (Hz).


What are the units in which processors speed is measured?

GIgaBytes The actual measurement of processors in in GHz. For example, a processor with 3.12GHz is faster than a 2.76GHz processor.
