1941, from mega- + Hertz.

(Abbreviated MHz; formerly called megacycle.) A unit of frequency equal to one million (106) cycles per second.

A unit of frequency equal to one million cycles per second.

Also known as Mhz Definition Megahertz is used to express the amount in millions of cycles per second a CPU can process. The higher the Mhz the faster the CPU is.

A unit of frequency denoting one million (106) Hz.

Jensens Internet Dictionary Unit of measure that equals a frequency of 1 million cycles per second. (See also Hertz and kilohertz)

Megahertz is the unit used to measure the speed of a computer's processor (e.g. 2.8Ghz)

A measurement of the transmission speed of electronic devices, named after the German physicist Heinrich R. Hertz. One MHz equals 1 million cycles per second. In computing, a MegaHertz is usually equa [..]

Millions of cycles per second. This is a measure of how fast a cpu operates. Abbreviated Mhz. Here is a good article about CPU performance and explains mhz in more detail.

A million cycles (occurrences, alterations, pulses) per second. Used to describe the speed at which a computer's processor (or CPU) operates.

Usually abbreviated to MHz. A unit of measurement relating to the Clock Speed of a computer or, put simply, a measurement of how fast its Central Processing Unit (CPU) runs. Typical clock speeds of mo [..]

A million cycles per second, abbreviated MHz. This is often used misleadingly to indicate processor speed, because while one might expect that a higher number would indicate a faster processor, that l [..]
