FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The clock speed of a processor is measured in hertz, which is clock cycles per second. A CPU which completes three billion clock cycles per second has a clock speed of 3 GHz.

Detailed explanation-2: -The clock speed measures the number of cycles your CPU executes per second, measured in GHz (gigahertz). A “cycle” is technically a pulse synchronized by an internal oscillator, but for our purposes, they’re a basic unit that helps understand a CPU’s speed.

Detailed explanation-3: -speed of around 3GHz which means the CPU can carry out three thousand million instructions per second!

Detailed explanation-4: -A CPU with a clock speed of 3.2 GHz executes 3.2 billion cycles per second. (Older CPUs had speeds measured in megahertz, or millions of cycles per second.) Sometimes, multiple instructions are completed in a single clock cycle; in other cases, one instruction might be handled over multiple clock cycles.

Detailed explanation-5: -GHz = Billion cycles per second. Therefore, 3GHz = 3 billion cycles per second.
