The processor (CPU) clock speed is calculated in hertz (Hz), and it reflects the number of cycles per second the processor performs. The CPU communicates with the computer motherboard at much slower rate, called Front Side Bus (FSB). The ratio between the CPU clock rate and the FSB rate is called a multiplier. Correspondently, CPU [...]
