The system bus is usually inside of the CPU, but I guess it depends on the processor and the motherboard. Usually, CPU clock speeds are faster, as they are measured in GHz, while the system bus speed is usually measured in MHz. Hope this helped! SeanHolshouser

What is a measurement of frequency of a system bus and CPU. which is faster the system bus or CPU?

CPU operates from 166 MHz to more than 3 GHz system can operate from 133 MHz to 400 MHz. CPU is faster than the system bus


How does the system bus contribute to the overall system performance?

Your data busses sends information from component to component i.e. your FSB (front side bus)/system bus/internal bus communicates between your CPU and RAM, the faster it runs, the faster information is moved between your RAM and CPU giving your CPU quicker access to that data.


Which is the faster the system bus or the CPU?

On modern systems, the CPU. *Very* old systems (Apple II, "IBM" PC) use the same CPU and bus speeds.


What is faster CPU or system bus?

I suppose you mean "CPU" The system bus is typically set at a vastly lower frequency than the CPU. They handle different things, so comparing them to each other for "speed" isn't really possible. This is similar to asking if the speed of a plane is higher than the hardness of a rock.


What is the CPU connected to the system memory with?

System bus


The CPU is connected to the system memory by the?

The Front Side Bus (FSB) connects the processor (CPU) in your computer to the system memory.


What are the names for a computer system bus?

The bus that connects the CPU to main memory on the motherboard. I/O buses, which connect the CPU with the systems other components, branch off of the system bus."The system bus is called the frontside bus, memory bus, local bus, or host bus."See the Related Links below.


What is a measurement of frequency of a bus and cpu?

A system bus frequency is 1600 MHz. A CPU frequency is 166 MHz to almost 4GHz.


Which bus does not work in sync with CPU and the system clock?

An expansion bus will not work in sync with the CPU. In addition, it will not work with the system clock.


The main bus on themotherboard that comunicates with the CPU memory and the chipset is known as the?

System Bus


The main bus on the motherboard that communicates with the CPU memory and the chipset is known as the what?

System Bus or Front side bus


What is the function of front side bus?

The front side bus formerly connected the Northbridge Controller to the CPU (a way of communication) it still has the same communication, but it is not called FSB, it is called a HyperTransport Bus.
