Bus Frequency

The bus frequency refers to the speed by which data is transferred 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.

CPU Multiple

This parameter sets 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 million cycles per second. The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU can execute per second.
