What is measured in megahertz (MHz)?

The measurement in megahertz (MHz) is predominantly associated with processor speed. This unit quantifies the number of cycles per second that a processor can execute, indicating how many instruction cycles it can perform in a given period. A higher megahertz rating typically suggests a faster processor, which can handle more operations in a shorter amount of time, leading to improved performance in executing tasks.

The other options involve different types of measurements: storage capacity is typically measured in bytes (kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes), data transfer rates often use bits per second (bps) or bytes per second (Bps), and network latency is usually measured in milliseconds (ms) or microseconds (µs). These measurement units highlight different characteristics and performance metrics of computer systems and networks, differentiating them from processor speed which is specifically represented in megahertz.
