Detailed explanation-1: -Dishonorable Mention: Pentium III 1.13GHz In a final bid to regain the performance clock, Intel tried to push the 180nm Cumine P3 up to 1.13GHz. It failed. The chips were fundamentally unstable and Intel recalled the entire batch.
Detailed explanation-2: -Every time that the clock ticks, the processor can execute an instruction or read and write data. A 3.0 GHz processor has 3 billion opportunities per second to do something, while a 3.6 GHz processor has 3.6 billion chances–making it roughly 20 percent faster.
Detailed explanation-3: -A single-core processor is a microprocessor with a single core on its die. It performs the fetch-decode-execute cycle once per clock-cycle, as it only runs on one thread.
Detailed explanation-4: -These records were broken in late 2022 when an Intel Core i9-13900K was overclocked to 9.01 GHz. The highest base clock rate on a production processor is the IBM zEC12, clocked at 5.5 GHz, which was released in August 2012.
