No. 3.3 Gigahertz = 3,330 Megahertz
Thanks a bunch. And you guys close the doors over there, you're letting that cold air get down here to Columbus.
Hey I'm an hour and a half north of you on I77 and 20 was the high here today :)
No, 333 mHz is 1/10 of 3.33 gHz.
You should all close the door, it was 67 here today and I thought about putting on socks
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.
All this math makes my head hertz
"The smallest amount of transfer is one bit."
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).

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:

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