could be called clock rate, clock speed is the speed
that the microprocessor executes each instruction.
The CPU requires a
fixed number of clock ticks, or cycles, to execute each instruction. The faster the clocks
rate, the faster the CPU, or the faster it can execute instructions. Clock Speeds are
usually determined in MHz, 1 MHz representing 1 million cycles per
second, or in GHz, 1 GHz representing 1 thousand
million cycles per second. Also see: Clock,
