A typical desktop PC can perform billions of calculations per second, often measured in FLOPS (floating-point operations per second). For example, modern CPUs can execute around 3 to 5 gigahertz, meaning they can process billions of instructions per second. Additionally, with multiple cores and hyper-threading, the total number of calculations can rise significantly. Overall, a standard desktop can handle anywhere from several billion to over a trillion calculations per second, depending on its specifications.
" 2.4 GHz " means "2.4 billion per second".
ENIAC, one of the earliest electronic general-purpose computers, could perform approximately 5,000 calculations per second. This was a significant achievement for its time, as it dramatically increased the speed of computation compared to earlier mechanical devices. Despite its capabilities, ENIAC was still relatively slow by modern standards, as contemporary computers can perform billions of calculations per second.
Mb is a measurement of capacity while GHz is the amount of how many times the processor completes a cycle (in the millionths) per second. For example, 2 GHz would result in 2,000,000 cycle per second. Where I can see he/she's getting at are how many Mb/s can the processor process. This is all in the matter of the Front-Side Bus of the processor. Here's a mental image: Pretend that the processor is an hourglass. The gap in the center would be the Front-Side Bus. You would get as many grains as you have RAM. The larger the gap, the faster the grains fall through.
Computers can calculate very fast (many millions of calculations per second), and help organize data.
Well, honey, that all depends on the computer. A basic calculator can do a few calculations per second, while a supercomputer can churn out trillions. So, the short answer is: it varies. Don't you just love a vague response?
The processor can perform approximately 2.5 billion floating point operations per second.
One gigahertz is equal to one billion ticks per second. A computer with a 2.5 ghz processor can do 2,500,000,000 processes per second.
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You need to specify which FPGA you are interested in. Please restate the question.
ENIAC was unplugged as it runs on technology that makes the average 10-year-old Linux box seem like a Concorde compared to a turtle. It did calculations at a rate of under 5000 additions a second. Nowadays new computers (running the Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition i980EE processor) can do well over 100,000 MILLION calculations per second, even that 10-year old Linux box can do about 3,561 MILLION calculations per second (running AMD Athlon processor). BTW: for comparison; the average person working with pen and paper can do about 0.0119 calculations per second Sourced from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

Processor speeds are usually measured in hertz (cycles per second) And then there are FLOPS ... Floating point operations per second.
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....
GHz refers to how many instructions - or cycles - a processor can process per second.For example, if you has a 2.4 GHz processor, it could do 2,400,000,000 processes per second.
A computer's processor speed describes the maximum number of calculations per second the processor can perform, and is given in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the larger the number, the faster and more powerful the processor.In computing, FLOPS (for FLoating-point Operations Per Second) is a measure of computer performance, useful in fields of scientific calculations that make heavy use of floating-point calculations. For such cases it is a more accurate measure than the generic instructions per second.
If the question is about the doorknob the answer is "None". And if it not about the doorknob, maybe you should have said what you are referring to!
" 2.4 GHz " means "2.4 billion per second".
