Bus Frequency
The bus frequency refers to the speed by which data is transfer between internal
computer components and the CPU or the main memory of the CPU.
A fast bus
allows data to be transferred faster, which makes applications run faster.
Multiple
Sets this parameter for the Core/BUS ratio of your system.
The clock speed of the
BUS does not necessarily equal the CPU’s (core). The bus clock speed is often
slower than the CPU clock speed
.
Processor Speed
The processor speed is the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions.
Clock speeds are expressed in megahertz (MHz), with 1 MHz being equal to 1
