The clock speed of a CPU is measured in hertz (Hz). More commonly, it is represented in kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz), or gigahertz (GHz):

- **Hertz (Hz)**: 1 cycle per second
- **Kilohertz (kHz)**: 1,000 cycles per second
- **Megahertz (MHz)**: 1,000,000 cycles per second
- **Gigahertz (GHz)**: 1,000,000,000 cycles per second

Most modern CPUs have clock speeds measured in gigahertz (GHz), indicating billions of cycles per second. For example, a CPU with a clock speed of 3.0 GHz performs 3 billion cycles per second.
