What is Clock Speed?
| Microprocessor's Internal Speeds |
|
The clock speeds are the frequencies which determine how fast devices that are connected to the system bus operate. The speed is measured in millions of cycles per second (MHz or megahertz) and is generated by a quartz crystal on the motherboard which acts as a kind of metronome. Devices that are synchronized with the clock may run faster or slower but their speed is determined by multiplying or dividing a factor by the clock speeds. |
