For example, my processor is Intel Pentium D Processor 820. I know there are other numbers but is the higher the better and what do they measure?
Also, what is the CPU Ghz? Is the higher the better for that or what does it mean?
Thanks for any help!!

yes #s' and ghz dont mean much these days...but generally a higher model number is better...for exact specs google ur processor...for performance comparisons chek out what theyre saying on sites like overclock.net or dfistreet. For a cool look at ur cpu specs chek out cpu-z....

The "820" is just an identification number for the processor that Intel gave it. Doesn't really say anything. The Ghz is the processor's speed, and yes, the higher the better.

The number usually indicates the CPU model ... it's something for the producers of the CPU to know ...
The Ghz ( Giga hertz ) is the frequency of the CPU .. it means how many instructions the processor can handle in one second .. for example a 1 GHz processor can handle 1024 * 1024 * 1024 / 2 = 536870912 instruction per second ... taking into considering that usually the instruction takes 2 time cycles ( that's why we divide on 2 )

They name their processors differently to identify them. Look at the CPU Ghz and choose a higher number.

820 is a part number go to www.intel.com for information.
what is a CPU Ghz, Ghz = 1 billion Hertz, ( 1,000,000,000 )
or cycles per second in simpler terms.
The bigger the number the faster it can execute a set of instructions.
Slower speed CPU's will take long to execute the same set of instructions.
Also CPU speed is only one part that determines the speed of a computer.
Other factors like
FSB ( Front side Bus )
How much memory ( L2 and DDR )
Hard drive speed

the numbers are model numbers for the processor sometimes its the processor speed. ghz the higher the better.

The numbers are really becoming arbitrary. Often computer magazines will give you speed comparisons of current processors in real life environments. This would probably be a better gauge of computing power.

WOW there is life wayyyy to plenty stuff so i visit grant you a elementary evaluate (VERY VERY huge evaluate) of what you requested on your qustion. a million)reminiscence is measured in gigabytes or gb 2) reminiscence is saved on an inner problematic stress it is better with an exturnal problematic stress 3)Ram is measured in gb 4) 2 gb of ram is standardon laptops 5) 250gb is an honest problematic stress 6)speed is set via obtainable RAM and processor potential i've got self assurance this solutions your qustion, ask your supervisor if via a working laptop or pc geek you propose be on the geek squad. -I provide solutions

more number , more power.
Ghz is a thing that measures the frequency. The unit of counting cpu's power is Ghz.

the numbers are the model and ghz (gigahertz) is a measurement of how fast the processor is lets say you have 2.5 ghz processor thats how fast it is
