Gigahertz

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000480

A unit of frequency equal to one billion (10^9) hertz, representing one billion cycles per second. In computing, it is primarily used to measure the clock speed of a central processing unit (CPU), indicating how many instruction cycles it can perform per second. A higher gigahertz rating generally implies faster processing.
