What Is The Computer CPU Speed And/Or CPU Clock Rate?

0

The CPU speed is the clock rate frequency in hertz ( circles per second) at which the CPU executes standard operations like doing equations, processing simple data and so on. In the old days, computers had clock frequencies as low as 4.77 MHz (4,770,000 cycles/second), but nowdays the standard is around 3 GHz (three billion cycles/second). For now on, CPU’s fabricants are working on the CPU core to enhance the speed. As they are stuck with a frequency cap, building CPUs with a clock rate frequency over 3.6 GHz start to be a hard task. I guess it is due of circuits overheating too much.
