Yes. In older systems, the clock crystal speed either provided the direct clock for the front side bus, and everything else ran on a divider, or was double the speed of the front side bus. Modern systems use a single fixed crystal at 14.318 MHz, and everything runs at either a multiple or divider of that clock. Some components, such as network cards may have their own crystal. Most add-on cards also have an oscillator crystal.

What is the relationship between clock cycle time and clock rate in a computer system?
The clock cycle time and clock rate in a computer system are inversely related. A shorter clock cycle time allows for a higher clock rate, which means the computer can process instructions faster. Conversely, a longer clock cycle time limits the maximum clock rate that can be achieved.
What is Core Clock in computers?
Core clock is the actual speed at which the graphics processor on a video card on a computer operates. The core clock speed is measured in megahertz.
What is the relationship between clock rate and clock cycle time in a computer system?
The clock rate and clock cycle time in a computer system are inversely related. A higher clock rate means a shorter clock cycle time, allowing the system to process instructions faster. Conversely, a lower clock rate results in a longer clock cycle time, slowing down the processing speed of the system.
What did the computer do at lunchtime?
It had a byte!
What is the speed of the processor clock in the latest computer models?
The speed of the processor clock in the latest computer models varies, but it typically ranges from 2.5 to 4.5 gigahertz (GHz).
Who generates control signal in computer?
The control signal is generated by the systems clock. The systems clock is called a crystal and runs at a constant speed. Typically measured in Mhz
What is the name of a quartz crystal Circuit that controls the timing of all computer operations?
A crystal oscillator is a circuit that generates the clock signal that controls the timing of a typical computer. As you may have already guessed, the frequency is mainly controlled by a highly pure crystal of quartz (silicon dioxide).
Give the clock out frequency and state time T of 8085 when the crystal frequencies is 5MHz?
The clock out frequency of an 8085 is one half the crystal frequency. The period of one T cycle is the inverse of the clock frequency. At a crystal frequency of 5MHz, the clock is 2.5MHz, and T is 400 ns.
What is the purpose of an oscillator crystal?
"A circuit within a computer that creates a series of pulses that pace the computer's electronic system. The oscillator clock synchronizes, paces and coordinates the operations of the computer's circuit." -- webopedia
How do you reset the clock in Pokemon Crystal?
You are not able to reset the clock in Pokémon Crystal. You can only do this in Pokémon Gold/Silver.
What is a digital clock face made out of?
what is a clock made out of
How is a computer's clock different from real clock?
A computers clock is a real clock
Specify the crystal frequency required for an 8085 system to operate at 1.1mhz?
The crystal frquency in an 8085 system is twice the desired clock frequency, so a crystal of 2.2 MHz is required to operate at 1.1 MHz.Note: Clock frequency is not the same as instructions per second, because the instructions in an 8085 take a variable number of clock cycles, between 4 and 18, to execute.
Are all digital clock crystal oscillators the same?
No, they are not.
What is the principal computer hardware device that controls the speed and processing of a computer?
The clock crystal. remove it or break it, and you will have about 5 seconds worth of time on the fastest desktop you have ever seen, and about 5 minutes of trying to put the fire out.
What is the purpose of a Crystal oscillator?
Crystal oscillators are made of a piezoelectric material that vibrates at a very precise frequency. A crystal oscillator in a digital circuit is used primarily for generating a clock signal. A clock signal is a square-wave signal that goes between a maximum and minimum voltage (usually between 5V and 0V or between 3.3V and 0V) at a precise frequency generated by the crystal oscillator. This clock signal is used for coordinating and/or controlling events in a digital circuit. In a digital watch, the current time is set and clock cycles are counted to measure the passage of time. As a second passes, the display is incremented to show that a second has passed. In a CPU, a program counter (which is used to keep track of which line of machine code the computer is at in a computer program) is incremented with each cycle of the clock. The faster the clock, the faster the program is executed. That is why CPU speed is measured in megahertz or gigahertz. There are other factors in program execution speed such as memory speed, read/write speeds, etc. but CPU clock speed is one of them.
What is a pulse rate of a clock measured in?
