Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
One measure of CPU performance is the number of cycles or instructions it can perform in a second-two examples of this measurement are ____
A
gigabytes, megabytes
B
hyperthreading
C
gigahertz, megahertz
D
multicore
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The clock speed measures the number of cycles your CPU executes per second, measured in GHz (gigahertz). In this case, a “cycle” is the basic unit that measures a CPU’s speed. During each cycle, billions of transistors within the processor open and close .

Detailed explanation-2: -The clock speed of computers is usually measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). One megahertz equals one million ticks per second, and one gigahertz equals one billion ticks per second. You can use clock speed as a rough measurement of how fast a computer is.

Detailed explanation-3: -The clock speed measures the number of cycles your CPU executes per second, measured in GHz (gigahertz). In this case, a “cycle” is the basic unit that measures a CPU’s speed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Number of cores The more cores a CPU has, the greater the number of instructions it can process in a given space of time.
