Q9 / 100

What is "clock speed" (measured in Hz, e.g., GHz) of a CPU?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) The rate at which the CPU's internal clock generates pulses, which synchronizes and paces the execution of instructions

A

Correct Answer

The rate at which the CPU's internal clock generates pulses, which synchronizes and paces the execution of instructions

Explanation

Clock speed determines how many cycles per second the CPU can perform; a higher clock speed generally means more instructions can be processed per second, though actual performance also depends on architecture.
