Question

The primary measure of processing speed for a computer is ____________ and the primary measure of storage capacity and memory is ____________________________.

	A.	Bytes; Bits
	B.	Hertz; Bytes
	C.	KWPM; Bytes
	D.	Cycles; RAM

Answer 1

Option B.Hertz; Bytes is the correct answer

The primary measure of a processing speed for a computer is :

gigahertz

A computer's processor clock speed determines how quickly the central processing unit (CPU) can retrieve and interpret instructions. This helps your computer complete more tasks by getting them done faster. Clock speeds are measured in gigahertz (GHz), with a higher number equating to higher clock speed.

The primary measure of storage capacity and memory is :

Bytes

Computer storage is measured in bytes, kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and increasingly terabytes (TB). One byte is one character of information, and is comprised of eight bits (or eight digital 1's or 0's)
