4.12.3 CPU Frequency
This parameter displays your CPU’s speed and bus frequency. Selecting this
option displays the following screen:
CPU Frequency
Bus Frequency ............... 100 MHz
CPU Multiple ................ [4]
Processor Speed ............. 400 MHz
Bus Frequency
The bus frequency refers to the speed by which data is transferred between
internal computer components and the CPU or the main memory of the CPU. A
fast bus allows data to be transferred faster, which makes applications run faster.
CPU Multiple
This parameter sets the Core/bus ratio of your system. The clock speed of the
bus does not necessarily equal the CPU’s (core). The bus clock speed is often
slower than the CPU clock speed
.
Processor Speed
The processor speed is the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions.
Clock speeds are expressed in megahertz (MHz), with 1 MHz being equal to 1
million cycles per second. The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU can
execute per second.
