Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Processor Speed

Processor speed, also known as clock speed, is the rate at which a central processing unit (CPU) can execute instructions. It is typically measured in Hertz (Hz), which represents cycles per second. Modern processors operate at billions of cycles per second.

Step 2: Evaluating the Options

The given options are:

  • gigahertz (GHz): 1 GHz = 1 billion Hz
  • megahertz (MHz): 1 MHz = 1 million Hz
  • terahertz (THz): 1 THz = 1 trillion Hz
  • kilohertz (kHz): 1 kHz = 1 thousand Hz
Step 3: Choosing the Correct Unit

While terahertz processors are being researched, they are not yet commercially available. Most modern processors operate in the gigahertz range, typically between 1 GHz and several GHz. Megahertz and kilohertz are too slow for modern CPUs.

Final Answer

\\(\boxed{\text{gigahertz}}\\)

There are three regular verb endings that undergo a spelling change in the YO form only. - car: the c changes to qu: explicar → expliqué - -gar: the g changes to gu: llegar → llegué - -zar: the z changes to c almorzar → almorcé Escribe la forma YO de los siguientes verbos en el pretérito de indicativo. These spelling changes are necessary for the written form to accurately reflect the pronunciation. For example, expliqué keeps the hard k sound, while "explice" uses the s sound.
