1 GHz stands for 1 gigahertz, which represents one billion cycles per second. It is a unit used to measure the clock frequency of a computer processor, indicating how many instructions the processor can execute in a given amount of time. A processor with a higher GHz value typically indicates faster performance.
To determine how many instructions per second a CPU can process, you need to know its clock speed (in Hertz) and the number of instructions it can execute per clock cycle. For example, a CPU with a clock speed of 3 GHz (3 billion cycles per second) and a capacity to execute 4 instructions per cycle could theoretically process 12 billion instructions per second. However, actual performance can vary due to factors like instruction complexity, CPU architecture, and workload.
The number of instructions per second that a 3 GHz processor can execute depends on its architecture and design. In general, a 3 GHz processor can execute around 3 billion cycles per second. If we assume one instruction per cycle, it would theoretically handle 3 billion instructions per second, but modern processors often execute multiple instructions per cycle due to features like pipelining and superscalar architecture, potentially increasing this number significantly.
It varied, most executed a few thousand instructions per second to a few tens of thousands of instructions per second. By the end of the first generation, high end machines like the IBM 709 and UNIVAC 1105 could do a few hundred thousand instructions per second.
i am not sure what processer is in the ipad but a computer speeds are measured in Gigahertz per second (GHz)​
no ----- How about a real answer?A modern processor, say, the i7 3770k, is capable of processing 3.5 Instructions per CYCLE. And it runs at 3.5GHz, or 3,500,000,000 Cycles per Second. This becomes: 3.5 *3.5 Ghz= 12,250,000,000 Instructions per Second. And now I need to put my head on ice! You cold word this as 12.25GIPS, or 12.25 Giga-Instructions per Second. Of course, GIPS isn't a real abbreviation, so use what you want to! You can also go by GFLOPS, or Giga Floating Point Operations Per Second, a more common measurement. That same i7 3770k is capable of something like 150GFLOPS, or 150,000,000,000 Floating Point Operations per Second. Amazing!
Modern processors have a internal clock that is in orders of magnitude faster than standard time. Therefore, a computer is able to slice up tasks according to those tiny slices of time. Take example, a processor running with a clock speed of 1GHz (1 billion clocks a second) and it can do 2 IPC (instructions per clock). This means it can run 2 billion instructions a second.
MIPS= Millions of Instructions per Second
The number of calculations a processor can perform per second is typically measured in gigahertz (GHz), where 1 GHz equals one billion cycles per second. Modern processors can have clock speeds ranging from around 2 GHz to over 5 GHz. However, the actual number of calculations depends on the processor's architecture and how many instructions it can execute per clock cycle, which can range from a few to several instructions. Consequently, high-end processors can perform trillions of calculations per second, often expressed in teraflops (trillions of floating-point operations per second).
