FC0-U61 · Question #684

A customer wants to buy a new laptop with a 2.5Gbps processor. Which of the following BEST describes the device the salesperson should suggest?

The correct answer is D. 2.5GHz. Processor speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz), so a request for a '2.5Gbps processor' is a misunderstanding, and the salesperson should suggest a 2.5GHz processor.

Why each option

Processor speed is measured in gigahertz (GHz), so a request for a '2.5Gbps processor' is a misunderstanding, and the salesperson should suggest a 2.5GHz processor.

A2.5MHz

2.5MHz is a significantly slower clock speed, common for very old processors, not modern laptops.

B2.5Tbps

2.5Tbps (Terabits per second) refers to an extremely high data transfer rate, not a processor's clock speed.

C2.5GB

2.5GB (Gigabytes) refers to a unit of storage capacity or memory size, not a processor's clock speed.

D2.5GHzCorrect

Processor speed, or clock rate, is measured in hertz (Hz), typically megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz), indicating the number of cycles per second. A customer requesting a '2.5Gbps processor' is likely misunderstanding the units and actually referring to a processor with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz.
