What does mhz in computer terms?
mHz means milli hertz, MHz means mega hertz. Hertz is a measure of frequency, or cycles per second. milli hertz is how many cycles per millisecond or 0.001 seconds.
What is a petafop?
A petaflop is a measure of a computer's processing speed:- A thousand trillion floating point operations per second (FLOPS)
The higher the GHz the faster the computer processor speed?
yep, the more GHz u have the faster the processor GHz stands for gigaherz or the amount of processor cycles per second 1Hz is one cycle per second. 1KHz is 1000 cycles per second 1 MHz is 1000 kila cycles per second or 1,000,000 cycles per second 1 GHZ is 1000 mega cycles per second or 1000,000,000 cycles per second and so on....
What are mips?
In computer terminology, MIPS stands for "Millions of Instructions Per Second" and is a gauge of the processing power of the computer system.
What does 3Ghz mean?
3.06 GHz is equivalent to 3,060,000,000 Hz, or Hertz, named after Heinrich Hertz. Hz is the standard unit of measure for frequency, or the number of cycles per second. Hz are commonly used as a measure of the clock speed in a CPU.
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.
What does mhz in computer terms?
mHz means milli hertz, MHz means mega hertz. Hertz is a measure of frequency, or cycles per second. milli hertz is how many cycles per millisecond or 0.001 seconds.
What provides power for both the components in the computer and most of the peripherals?
The central processing unit provides power to the components and peripherals by sending instructions that are measured in Hertz (cycles per second), Megahertz (million cycles per second), and Gigahertz (billion cycles per second). The CPU is the most powerful hard drive in the system.
How fast does a computer calculate?
Well, Here is the scoop a computer's brain is called a CPU or Central Processing Unit. The CPU's calculation or processing speed has been measured in Hertz or; more specifically; megahertz or MHz that is one million (106) cycles or processes in one second. The measurement of fastness or speed I think is this unit. Newer (since approximately 2000) CPUs have gone into gigahertz or GHz which is one billion (109) cycles or processes in one second. terahertz or THz are one trillion (1012) cycles... per second and petahertz are one quadrillion (1015) cycles... per second. So when a friend asks how fast my computer is; I would say, "Three gigahertz.".
What is a petafop?
A petaflop is a measure of a computer's processing speed:- A thousand trillion floating point operations per second (FLOPS)
What is a cgs unit to measure frequency?
Hertz (Cycles per Second).
How many cycles per second would a computer processor complete if it ran at 63 gigahertz?
ok, 63 GHz is impossible for any computer execpt a super computer.. 1 Hz=1 cycle per second 1 KHz=1000 cycles per second 1 MHz=1,000,000 cp/s (cycles per second) 1 GHz=1,000,000,000 cp/s there for 63 GHz=63,000,000,000 cycles per second
A measure of speed that runs a billion machine cycles per second?
gigahertz
What is a measure of frequency equivalent to one billion cycles per second?
Gigahertz
The unit of measure for the frequency of wavelengths per second?
Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) - cycles per second.
The higher the GHz the faster the computer processor speed?
yep, the more GHz u have the faster the processor GHz stands for gigaherz or the amount of processor cycles per second 1Hz is one cycle per second. 1KHz is 1000 cycles per second 1 MHz is 1000 kila cycles per second or 1,000,000 cycles per second 1 GHZ is 1000 mega cycles per second or 1000,000,000 cycles per second and so on....
What is the measure of the number of cycles per second called?
# of cycles per second is equal to frequency which is measured in Hertz frequency is the inverse of the period
