GHz vs MHz

[JC]

Is 333MHz the same as 3.33GHz

[Robert Allison]

No. 3.3 Gigahertz = 3,330 Megahertz

[JC]

Thanks a bunch. And you guys close the doors over there, you're letting that cold air get down here to Columbus.

[Meat Plow]

Hey I'm an hour and a half north of you on I77 and 20 was the high here today :)

[Stormin Mormon]

No, 333 mHz is 1/10 of 3.33 gHz.

[gfretwell]

You should all close the door, it was 67 here today and I thought about putting on socks

[Jim Redelfs]

No. It's .333 gHz

M = 1 million (1,000,000) G = 1 billion (1,000,000,000)

For completeness:

K = 1 thousand (1,000) T = 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000)

no

I want a T model...

I started to write the same word earlier.

[Edwin Pawlowski]

All this math makes my head hertz

And when I started in the business it 3.33GHz was called 3.33 Kilo Mega Cycles (kMC).

Looked around the web and got some hits. Back to 1955 where they are talking about an X-Band radar (10 kMc).

[Robert Allison]

I think he means a different Columbus (as in Columbus, TX.)

And for JC; The door is closed. It should be warming up tomorrow.

And the basis for such dimension-ordering: engineering-notation for the exponent of 10, using increments of 3. (Vice plain scientific notation, where the exponent can be any integer.)

Ex: Real number (coefficient) * 10^exponent, where exponent is an integer in (... -12,-9,-6,-3,0,3,6,9,12, ...). And the coefficient is normalized to be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 1000.

High-school math/physics/chemistry.

And to really corn-fuse things, 1K isn't really 1,000 but 1,024 at least when talking bytes of computer memory or disk space. It is really 2 to the

10th power

The abbreviation for that is KiB:

[Mark Lloyd]

Not to be confused with Kib (bits instead of bytes).

[gfretwell]

That sounds like something someone just came up with and is trying to get started. I understand the idea but I have never actually seen it used
