6.-+Difference+between+Hertz+and+Byte

Differences between hertz and bytes.
Byte: Is a __[|unit of digital information] __ in [|computing]  and [|telecommunications] . A byte is a unit of measurement used to measure [|data] . One byte contains eight binary [|bits] , or a series of eight zeros and ones. Therefore, each byte can be used to represent 2^8 or 256 different values. While the byte was originally designed to measure character data, it is now the fundamental unit of measurement for all data storage. For example, a [|kilobyte]  contains 2^10 or 1,024 bytes. A <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|megabyte] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> contains 1,024 x 1,024, or 1,048,576 bytes. Since bytes are so small, they are most often used to measure specific data within a file, such as <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|pixels] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> or characters. Even the smallest files are typically measured in kilobytes, while data storage limits are often measured in <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|gigabytes] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> or <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|terabytes] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">.

<span style="color: #3c3c3c; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Is <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">the standard unit of measurement used for measuring <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|frequency] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">. Since frequency is measured in cycles per second, one hertz equals one cycle per second. <span style="color: #3c3c3c; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">Hertz is used commonly used to measure wave frequencies, such as sound waves, light waves, and radio waves. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">While hertz can be used to measure wave frequencies, it is also used to measure the speed of computer <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|processors] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">. For example, each <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|CPU] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> is rated at a specific <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|clock speed] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">. This number indicates how many instruction cycles the processor can perform each second. Since modern processors can perform millions or even billions of instructions per second, clock speeds are typically measured in <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|megahertz] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;"> or <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;">[|gigahertz] <span style="color: #3c3c3c; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px;">.
