processor help

ok i dont understand this, but ok me and my friends were walkin throu da hall and we walked past the computer room and they were like hahahah them computers suck i mean there processors are like only 400 MHz, and im like yeah hahah like i knew what they were talkin about, lol, but anyways would a 400 MHz processor be like a .4 MHz processor and like a 3.0 GHz be like 3000 MHz? or what im confused about that, anyone help?

 

1 Hert = 1 cycle per second.
1 Mega Hert = 100 cycles per second
1 Giga hert = 100,000 cycles per second.

so 2 giga Hertz is equal to 2000 Mega hertz, and 200 mega hertz is equa to 0.2Ghz.

so 400MGz would be 0.4GHz.

But clock speed isnt a measure of performance, its just a measure of operating speed. The important thing is the FLOPS (floating point operations per second), which basically tells you how fast it is computing information.

 

omg thank you, i understand that now i was gettin MHz and GHz all messed up and stuff

 

Ok Luke that grav guy got 2070 lol So i went ahead and got 2970 2140 and 2070 lol... sigh

 

.... yes ....

 

Close, but not quite there.

1 Hertz = 1 cycle per second
1 KiloHertz (1KHz) = 1000 cycles per second
1 MegaHertz (1MHz) = 1,000,000 cycles per second
1 GigaHertz (1GHz) = 1,000,000,000 cycles per second.

That part came out right.

 

And to take it a step further…

Atto = 1/1000000000000000000
Femto = 1/1000000000000000
Pico = 1/1000000000000
Nano = 1/1000000000
Micro = 1/1000000
Milli = 1/1000
Kilo = 1000
Mega = 1000000
Giga = 1000000000
Terra = 1000000000000
Peta = 1000000000000000
Exa = 1000000000000000000

And it goes on…

so now i want a 3.2EHz computer!
