What is faster gigabyte per second or megabytes per second?

Answer 1

A gigahertz is much faster. Mega means million and giga means billion so it takes 1,000 megahertz to make one gigahertz. So on a piece of computer hardware one gigahertz means one billion cycles per second. Bytes are measured the same way.

Answer 2

a more accurate query would be: Which is faster?

quick answer:
Gigahertz, meaning One Billion cycles per second.


informative answer:
hertz, (abbrevieated Hz) refers to a frequency, or rate of speed, of a recurring event. such as the rate at which a video screen flashes images, or the rate at which the special lights on emergency vehicles flash to activate automatic traffic signal 4-way stops. in technology, we use prefixes like mega- or giga- to describe specific amounts or frequencies of somethings, specifically capacity and cyclic frequency. your hard drive may have 100 gigabytes (capacity) of available space. you may have a 2 gigahertz (frequency) microprocessor. so using the International System of Units (look it up, I had to!) we find that mega- multiplies the singular by one million, and giga- multiplies by one billion.
so a frequency of 1 GHz means 1 billion cycles per second, 1MHz means a million per second, and 1 Hz means only 1 cycle per second.


this means 1GHz is a thousand times as frequent as 1MHz! -Very fast.

Answer 3

Megahertz is a measure of frequency. It is 1 million cycles per second. Gigabyte is a measure of computer memory. It is 1 billion bytes. The two are not comparable. It's like asking which is more, 3 seconds or 4 apples?

Answer 4

A gigahertz is bigger. 1000 megahertz=1 gigahertz

Answer 5

Gigahertz is 1000 times faster than a megahertz

Answer 6

neither is faster, they are units of file size

GB is bigger than MB though

big: Of considerable size, extent, or intensity
