How many MB can a GHz process per second?

Answer 1

Mb is a measurement of capacity while GHz is the amount of how many times the processor completes a cycle (in the millionths) per second. For example, 2 GHz would result in 2,000,000 cycle per second. Where I can see he/she's getting at are how many Mb/s can the processor process. This is all in the matter of the Front-Side Bus of the processor. Here's a mental image: Pretend that the processor is an hourglass. The gap in the center would be the Front-Side Bus. You would get as many grains as you have RAM. The larger the gap, the faster the grains fall through.
