Question

The speed of processor of a computer is measured in ________.
1. Baud
2. Hertz
3. BPS
4. MIPS

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Hertz

The correct answer is Hertz.

• The speed of the processor of a computer is measured in hertz.

• The speed at which the CPU carries out instructions is called the clock speed.
  • The clock speed is measured in cycles per second, and one cycle per second is known as 1 hertz.
  • The higher the clock speed a CPU has, the faster it can process instructions.
  • A CPU is made up of a processor that has two, four, or even more cores.
