| The Central Processing Unit (CPU) or (micro) processor is the part of a computer where most calculations take place. In terms of computing power, the processor is the most important element of a computer system, so the performance of a computer is highly dependant on the performance of the processor. For quite some time the performance of a processor has been determined by the number of MHz the clock speed was, but nowadays clock speed doesn't have so much to do with the speed of the processor anymore. One of the best ways to compare different kinds of processors, is to look up benchmarks on the internet. Please be careful to buy a processor that is compatible with your motherboard, i.e. fits in the right socket. |

Processor clock speed
|
|
Processor speed in Mhz. Often the clock speed is expressed by a manufacturer in GHz (1 GHz = 1000 MHz). The clock rate is the fundamental rate in cycles per second (measured in hertz) at which a computer performs its most basic operations such as adding two numbers. There are more factors, like internal memory size, that influence a computer's actual response time.
2400 MHz

L2 cache
|
|
The CPU cache (Level 2 in megabyte) is a smaller, faster memory which stores copies of the data from the most frequently used main memory locations.

Processor front side bus
|
|
Speed of the processor's Front Side Bus (FSB) in megahertz (1 million Herz). The FSB is the bus that transfers data between the CPU and the northbridge of the Motherboard. The maximum theoretical bandwidth of the FSB is determined by the product of its width, its clock frequency and the number of data transfers it performs per clock tick.
