About This Conversion
Gigahertz to megahertz multiplies by 1,000, the step needed when a device is specified in GHz but a configuration screen, a regulatory table or a spectrum chart works in MHz.
Processor clocks live in the same range and convert identically: a 3.6 GHz CPU runs at 3,600 MHz, or 3.6 billion cycles per second. Clock speed alone stopped predicting performance a long time ago, but it remains the number quoted, and it is still just a frequency.
Wi-Fi channels are another place the step shows up, because regulators number them by centre frequency in MHz. Channel 1 is 2,412 MHz, channel 6 is 2,437 MHz and channel 11 is 2,462 MHz, while the 5 GHz channel 36 sits at 5,180 MHz. A device sold as 5.8 GHz works somewhere in the 5,725 to 5,875 MHz band.
