Then you should know some basic terms which are used now a days in the field of processors. Let's discuss them one by one. 1. Clock Speed It is also called clock speed or simply speed, it is the speed at which a microprocessor execute instructions. More clock rate mean more the instructions the CPU can execute per second. Speed is expressed in MHz(Mega Hertz) or GHz(Giga Hertz). However performance of a computer does not depends only on clock speed, some other factors effecting the perf...
