There are two units of measure. The first is the number of cycles per second performed by the CPU, measured in Hertz (Hz), where 1 Hertz is 1 cycle per second and 1 gigahertz (GHz) is 1 billion cycles per second. All home computers are measured in Hertz. Hertz are also used to measure memory refresh rates, video refresh rates and so on. The second unit of measure is the number of floating point calculations per second, known as flops, where a gigaflop is a billion flops per second. Supercomputers are typically measured in flops.

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 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.


Computers today make how many computations per second?

You are asking what the processing speed is and the answer varies for individual madels. The speed is measured in parts of a second (rather than by the second) and many newer computers are now built with two processors that work together to further increase the processing speed and capacity.

What means speed?

Memory speed references how fast, usually measured in megahertz (MHz) of computers RAM and ROM modules. For example DDR2 (double data rate 2) PC2 6400, has a speed of 800-MHz.Modern DDR3 and GDDR5 can be much faster.
