Subject: clock cycles
Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2004 10:15:52 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041012091552.11876.qmail@web52904.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

well this is a very basic question but somewhat myu
concept is not clear

i am looking at system like before they were very slow
but in last few years in systems clock cycle has
increased at a rapid rate i.e system used t ocome with
speed of 350MHz then it raised 700 MHz and slowly 1
GHz now it is all in GHz

what actually this speed does ? what happens by making
this clock fast. does it say how many instruction it
can have in a clock cycle or something

thanks

ankit jain
