what does 1.6ghz mean?

Answer 1

Literally, it means 1.6 gigahertz, and that means "1.6 billion cycles per second". (Hertz means cycles per second, and giga- means billion). In terms of processors, that would mean that the processor could execute 1.6 billion commands per second. Pretty slow by today's standards

Answer 2

mainly 1.6ghz means a processor speed of 1.6 giga hertz( 1 gigahertz or ghz = 1000mhz)
so your clock speed of 1.6ghz is 1600mhz,and is reasonably fast
processors are rated in ghz and mhz(mega-hertz) so people know how fast their computer is capable of running at
in theory a gigahertz is a measurment of power,this is because its power thats used to run a processor so in your case your processor is running at 1.6ghz of power usage
this leads you on to overclocking ,the art of making the processor run faster by pumping more power into it,so in your case overclocking your 1.6ghz processor by 200mhz of power to run at 1.8ghz but thats another question
good luck mate!

Answer 3

processor speed runs at 1600mhz which is 1.6ghz

Answer 4

That is most likely the speed rating of the CPU (Central Processing Unit) in the computer.

Answer 5

1600 mhz, or 1,600,000,000 operations per second.

you have to take into account how many instructions per clock cycle.
an AMD athlon executes 3 instructions per clock cycle, an old p4 executes 1 instruction per clock cycle.
the old PIII's (that the core2 processors are based on)executed 3 instructions per clock cycle.

Answer 6

1600mhz 1600 million math-ops per second.

Answer 7

thats the speed of your computer's processor.

Answer 8

that shows the pulses that your pc makes in one second

Answer 9

it's your processor speed.
