How Important Are Computer Clock Speeds?
PC clock speeds are a bunch of baloney — at least as a method of determining which computer to buy. In this case, faster does not always mean better. Every computer processor includes an oscillator that operates at a certain number of pulses per second. These pulses set the tempo for the processor; in most [...]
Clock Speed
Clock Speed The clock speed of a CPU is defined as the frequency that a processor executes instructions or that data is processed. This clock speed is measured in millions of cycles per second or megahertz (MHz). The clock itself is actually a quartz crystal that vibrates at a certain frequency when electricity is passed [...]
Clock signal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In electronics and especially synchronous digital circuits, a clock signal is a particular type of signal that oscillates between a high and a low state and is utilized like a metronome to coordinate actions of circuits. Although the word signal has a number of other meanings, the term is here [...]

What is Clock Speed?
Clock speed is a measure of how quickly a computer completes basic computations and operations. It is measured as a frequency in hertz, and most commonly refers to the speed of the computer’s CPU, or Central Processing Unit. Since the frequency most clock speed measures is very high, the terms megahertz and gigahertz are used. [...]
What is clock speed?
– In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for the processor. Clock speed is usually measured in MHz (megahertz, or millions of pulses per second) or GHz (gigahertz, or billions of pulses per second). Today’s personal computers run at a clock [...]

22 Dec, 2004 Clock Speed: Tell Me When it Hertz Jargon explained: clock, megahertz/gigahertz, cycle Computer performance is a traffic problem, moving data and instructions from memory and around inside the chip. Most people think of “traffic” in terms of cars and highways. However, there is a more relevant traffic analogy that everyone experienced before [...]
