What is a “Megatransfer”and why is RAM now rated this way?

  • RAM used to be rated in MHz based on clock cycles, but now uses MT/s for data transfer.
  • MT/s gives a theoretical max data transfer, not a direct correlation to MHz.
  • Rating RAM in Mbps might provide a clearer picture of actual data movement compared to MT/s.

You may have noticed that some computer specifications now list RAM speeds in terms of MT/s or “Megatransfers per second” instead of the traditional Megahertz.

What is a CPU, and what does it do?

The CPU (central processing unit) is the brain of your computer, processing instructions from programs and components.

  • Modern CPUs use billions of microscopic transistors to interpret binary signals, enabling complex tasks at high speeds.
  • Your CPU connects with other PC components through sockets and buses.

The most important part of your computer, if you had to choose just one, would be the central processing unit (CPU). It’s the primary hub (or “brain”), and it processes the instructions that come from programs, the operating system, or other components in your PC.
