it depends on the CPU.. but the frequency is measured in herts
Front Bus and 1600
processor frequency
processor frequency
The frequency of a system bus is measured in Hz. Modern computer system buses operate at hundreds of MHz or at GHz.
A system bus frequency is 1600 MHz. A CPU frequency is 166 MHz to almost 4GHz.

System bus frequency and multiplier
There is no "common" frequency. As new technology develops, the speed of the front side bus and newer system buses continuously increases.
Frequency is measured in Hertz, or cycles per second.
The system bus frequency of a 1066FSB (Front Side Bus) is effectively 266 MHz. This is because the FSB speed is typically calculated as the data rate, which is four times the base clock frequency due to the quad-pumped nature of the bus. Therefore, while the FSB is labeled as 1066 MT/s (megatransfers per second), the actual clock frequency is 266 MHz.
You end up with the advertised/effective CPU speed, such as 2.8GHz.
CPU operates from 166 MHz to more than 3 GHz system can operate from 133 MHz to 400 MHz. CPU is faster than the system bus
