Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The speed of the processor chip is measured in:
A
Miles per hour
B
Bits
C
Bytes
D
Hertz
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The clock speed measures the number of cycles your CPU executes per second, measured in GHz (gigahertz).

Detailed explanation-2: -Because the clocks they use to mediate their activities are electronic and they vibrate at a given frequency to generate their signals. So it makes sense to express their rate of vibration in hertz in terms of cycles per second similar to radio frequencies.

Detailed explanation-3: -The clock speed is measured in cycles per second, and one cycle per second is known as 1 hertz. This means that a CPU with a clock speed of 2 gigahertz (GHz) can carry out two thousand million (or two billion) cycles per second. The higher the clock speed a CPU has, the faster it can process instructions.
