CPU Clock Speed Explained

How a cpu works is a very complex subject, so I always try to keep things as basic as I can. Hoping this explanation of a cpu's clockspeed helps you understand more about it!

3 years later still extremely informative thank you!

[@enchantednights2022]

I had a lot of doubts about this topic in computer classes 'cause they always make it complicated. Thanks for your help, I can now ace this topic. Thanks a lot!

[@zhwzh_]

Thank you so much! It was exactly the explanation I was looking for, also, quick and simple.

[@masudakamalnupur9569]

Thanks man. Will come to this video once again.

[@mint0zs]

Short and packed full of the information I wanted. Subbed! Now to rabbit hole into a few of your videos.

Very nice! I am going through Google IT and A+ right now and this explained it better than both of these certs! subscribed

[@RBASB10]

Very clear and straight to the point. Hey Mr, basically I’m someone that likes to manage my time because believe me, once it’s gone, it’s not coming back. If only more KZbinrs were like you. If people think KZbin adds are annoying, I can give you some KZbin channels to watch then you would know what annoying really is. Thank you ever kindly. 🙏🏻 I’m now going to subscribe to you channel. Oh, before I go, thank you for your time in making this Video, I found it to be extremely informative. .

Hi, keep it up 🙂, I am studying for the A+, can you make a video about the booting process . Love ur explanations :-)

[@MaxsTech]

I'll add it to the list :) what would you like to know? Like how the system gets initialized and what happens when?

I already did my research and ordered my parts for my pc now I’m just having fun here

Great video! Keep up the good work! Also, fire the KZbin CEO for supporting the "hiding" of the dislike button.

[@tiagooliveira95]

Just a curiosity, at 3.5Ghz (T = 285.7ps) light travels 8.56cm each pulse. This really puts things in perspective. Record was 8.723Ghz, at this speed light travels 3.43cm. Pretty insane knowing that the cpu needs to communicate with other devices in your computer.

[@vibaj16]

and it's using electricity in a wire, which is slower than light

[@flaviucalin]

Thanks.

[@kushalgaddam5131]

Can you please do a video on what goes in and what you plug into the wall in your PC plz.

[@elained4273]

Good stuff and thank you! 🙂 You've got this info down cold but, those watching might be hearing all this for the first time ... like me! I do wish you'd slow down your rate of speech. Or... maybe... since this is the first time I'm watching one of your videos I'll get used to your tempo. 🤔 Thanks again!

[@MaxsTech]

I do tend to talk too fast....something I'm working on haha :)

[@Bheemagni]

Hey thanks for explaining about clock speed.. can u pls explain in more detail.. thanks

[@yutianfeng]

Amazing video, this really helps with a project I have for school! I was wondering, however, how would your base clock speed work with your RAM and graphics card? Also, is the base clock speed just the minimum clock speed? Thank you!

[@mozart0]

Same doubt...did you find the answer?

[@tenki_desu]

You explained a lot in this single video, thanks

[@jeannieh3661]

Where can I buy one of those "importance-O-meters"?

[@lyvon-qx5gk]

nice its easier to understand you

[@user-ei9sn9or8e]

could you tell me please how the clock speed is related to the frequency of the transistors in the microprocessor? is it the same number?

[@heraghon2438]

But the only information we usually have is the clock speed, so how do we know the amount of information per clock a CPU can handle ?

[@MaxsTech]

It will depend on a lot of factors. But the main take away should be that just because 2 cpus have the same clock speed, 1 can be much faster due to its architecture, since even modern cpus today can have the same clock speed as a chip from the last generation but perform much better.

[@tnndll4294]

This channel should do a video on how to properly compare 2 CPUs. For example, if you were shopping on Amazon or Best Buy, how would you do it.

[@onlygaming8106]

Your explanation are better than uni professors😂

[@Albert-oe3yg]

Awsome

[@kingstewie6436]

AWSOME EXPLAINING !! QUESTION PLEASE @35 - 55 YOU SAY "A CLOCK CYCLE IS A SINGLE ELECTRICAL PULSE IN A CPU DURING THIS PULSE THE CPU CAN PERFORM A BASIC TASK, LIKE ACCESING MEMORY, WRITING DATA OR JUST GRABING A NEW SET OF INSTRUCTIONS TO PERFORM" aka fetch/decode/execute... ? then from what i am trying to understand... the pograms to be ececuted which are all based on binary yes then hex / instructions assembler , transitor/mosfet bla bla bla .. ok i think i get it.. the 20 minute videos these days wre like my whole semster in 1987 computer colleges studies... BUT MY QUESTION PLEASE what is the association between the electrical pulse and the .. how does does it get "converted" ?? into the cpu as a "command".. ?? i have seen other stuff about has something to do with 5 volts (wh 5volts) that make the bit/ transitor ...? high or low but stil if we refer to this other great explaining please (tom scott): kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGatdGyMmpamnKs can you make a video about my question

[@MaxsTech]

That is a bit more in depth on the fundamentals of how that works. Could be an interesting video, perhaps a little niche but ill look into it. From what I know currently I would assume these pulses are the changes in the transistors position from on to off, (0 to 1) or vice versa.

[@MeariBamu]

So, for cpu, is that one cycle only runing one instruction?

[@iceddragon6446]

So is it just like how fast it runs?

[@PsylentSir]

*2.6ghz vs 3.2ghz ryzen pls*

[@SkyHermit]

Can you talk about single vs multi thread CPU?

[@MaxsTech]

Check out my video on core vs threads. That should give you some good info on that :)

[@pradip999_]

How Best proccecer clock speed hain 2.3 or 2.05

[@zenn2237]

Got a question. Is clock speed referring to the speed of the whole cpu or is it the speed of each core?

[@firechill9999]

Its per core usually

[@adriansanchez2803]

What's a normal gpu clock speed and Memory Clock speed?

[@landonkistler9325]

Never mind great vid

[@lolliz100]

I am currently about to purchase a Laptop for Trading. My main concern is it being very responsive and fast enough to execute buy/sell orders and not experience slippage, which can occur when the price quoted was not the price it was bought or sold at because of the slight changes due to the milliseconds that passed. Option one: 2.6GHz with 6 Cores Option two: 2.3 Ghz 8 Cores Does it make a difference? What do you recommend?

[@MaxsTech]

I recommend you use limit orders to avoid slippage, otherwise you’ll always have it. Most of the “lag” between you sending an order and it processing is via the internet speed rather than your pc.

[@lolliz100]

@@MaxsTech Ok Thankyou. And Thanks Alot for that speedy reply. 👍

[@hjq0023]

I'm confused between "base clock speed 2.6ghz" vs "Max clock speed 3.6ghz" What does this mean? Does it mean my cpu is 2.6ghz or 3.6ghz?

[@MaxsTech]

Most cpus these days have these “turbo” or “boost” speeds which just means the processor changes speed based on work load/temperature. If it’s cooled enough it should be able to remain at its top speed but as temperature increases it can throttle down to ensure safe operating temperatures. So it will automatically ramp up to that max clock speed when it can to give you the best performance when it’s required for your work load.

[@7.62_drxzzy5]

I have a msi motherboard with gameboost and the gameboost would always overheat and crash my pc

[@margscott5504]

I think the information in your video is probably really useful but the more you talk, the faster you talk and if you're new to the topic, like me, I found it very hard to follow.

[@mont9150]

I want to buy ram.does the ram speed need to be less than the cpu speed?

[@MaxsTech]

Nope, Ram speed does not need to match anything, can be as fast or slow as you desire for your build

[@saibaMasuku]

So its like the heart beat of a computer?

[@mrluistito2529]

IPC uplift is why AMD dominated Intel with Zen 3. Their single core performance was pretty slick without blowing up clock frequency. I may be switching back to AMD in the near future but for now I am content with the performance of my 9900k and 10900k systems...
