Detailed explanation-1: -Processor speed measures (in megahertz or gigahertz; MHz or GHz) the number of instructions per second the computer executes. The need for speed is most evident for schools that offer advanced computing classes including web design, animation and graphic design.
Detailed explanation-2: -In telecommunications, data transfer is usually measured in bits per second. For example, a typical low-speed connection to the internet may be 33.6 kilobits per second. On Gigabit Ethernet local area networks, data transfer can be as fast as 1, 000 megabits per second (Mbps).
Detailed explanation-3: -One generally accepted rule of thumb is that anything above 100 Mbps is considered “fast” internet because it can connect multiple devices at once.
