It's impossible to answer that question. All else being equal, higher is better. However, a six-core 2.8 GHz processor will blow a single-core 3.0 GHz processor out of the water for some applications.

What is the order of the electromagnetic spectrum in frequency?

I'm not sure what you intended to ask, but the frequency of electromagnetic radiation increases as the positive real numbers: from approaching the limit of zero Hz at the low end to approaching the limit of infinite Hz at the high end.Parts of this complete spectrum of frequencies have been given names:Extremely Low Frequencies - 3 Hz to 30 HzSuper Low Frequencies - 30 Hz to 300 HzUltra Low Frequencies - 300 Hz to 3 kHzVery Low Frequencies - 3 kHz to 30 kHzLow Frequencies - 30 kHz to 300 kHzMedium Frequencies - 300 kHz to 3 MHzHigh Frequencies - 3 MHz to 30 MHzVery High Frequencies - 30 MHz to 300 MHzUltra High Frequencies - 300 MHz to 3 GHzSuper High Frequencies - 3 GHz to 30 GHzExtremely High Frequencies - 30 GHz to 300 GHzTremendously High Frequencies - 300 GHz to 3 THzInfra Red - 300 GHz to 430 THzVisible Light - 430 THz to 790 THzUltra Violet - 790 THz to 30 PHzX-Rays - 30 PHz to 30 EHzGamma Rays - 30 EHz and upAll frequencies below 3 THz can also be called Radio Waves because they can be used for various types of Radio communication and related applications.NATO divides Radio Waves into the following bands:A band - 0 Hz to 250 MHzB band - 250 MHz to 500 MHzC band - 500 MHz to 1 GHzD band - 1 GHz to 2 GHzE band - 2 GHz to 3 GHzF band - 3 GHz to 4 GHzG band - 4 GHz to 6 GHzH band - 6 GHz to 8 GHzI band - 8 GHz to 10 GHzJ band - 10 GHz to 20 GHzK band - 20 GHz to 40 GHzL band - 40 GHz to 60 GHzM band - 60 GHz to 100 GHzIEEE divides Radio Waves into the following bands:High Frequencies - 3 MHz to 30 MHzVery High Frequencies - 30 MHz to 300 MHzUltra High Frequencies - 300 MHz to 1 GHzL band - 1 GHz to 2 GHzS band - 2 GHz to 4 GHzC band - 4 GHz to 8 GHzX band - 8 GHz to 12 GHzKu band - 12 GHz to 18 GHzK band - 18 GHz to 27 GHzKa band - 26.5 GHz to 40 GHzV band - 40 GHz to 75 GHzW band - 75 GHz to 110 GHzmm band - 110 GHz to 300 GHzThere are several other naming systems for the various parts/bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.

What is the maximum theoretical processor speed for a compute?

Electronic microprocessors are limited by the speed of light. Electrical current through the processor travels at the speed of light and that becomes the limiting factor. The Speed of Light is 29,979,245,800 cm/sec. A 1 GHz Processor can theoretically perform up to 1,000,000,000 instructions/sec. Each processor instruction produces a result in the form of an electrical signal that needs to be stored or delivered somewhere. The time in between consecutive processor instructions becomes the limiting factor since it determines how far the signal produced by the previous instruction can travel at the speed of light. The time in between instructions on a 1 GHz processor is 1/1,000,000,000 sec, if this figure is multiplied by the speed of light we would get a distance of 29.9 cm. This means that no component that interacts directly with the CPU can be at a distance greater than 30 cm for a 1 GHz processor. For a 3 GHz processor the distance is 10 cm. It seems that we are currently near to the limit of how fast our processors can run. The current "multiple core" trend we are seeing from processor manufacturers seems to support this case. Multiprocessing is currently the most cost effective workaround to acheive improved performance if you cannot go any faster on a single processor. +++ In practice it is slowed further by such factors as capacitor charge-discharge times. These may be in fractions of microseconds, but still significant at the circuit's working frequency.


What is the difference between Radio Frequency and intermediate frequency?

RF -radio frequencies are high frequencies, IF freq's are lower frequencie.It purely depends on system what are the frequencies used. as a example if ur using 30 GHZ as the RF, then if u downconvert these to some thing around 2GHz, now RF is 30 GHZ, IF1 is 2GZ---etc. if u have sytem of using freq as 2GHz, downconvert to some thing around 10 MZ, now RF for a given system is 2GHz, IF is 10 MHz.i hope u understood


Which has a higher frequency infrared or TV?

Infrared radiation is much higher frequency (300 GHz to 430 THz) than the VHF and UHF bands (30 MHz to 3 GHz) frequencies used by broadcast TV.

Is a 10yr conventional arm loan at 6.5 percent a good thing?

Not when you consider what the rate is for a 30 year fixed.
