The "bus" in this context refers to the data bus within a computer system. The Speed of the Bus is typically measured in terms of bandwidth, expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). It represents the rate at which data can be transmitted between computer components, such as the CPU, memory, and peripheral devices. The bus speed directly impacts the overall performance and efficiency of the system. A higher bus speed allows faster data transfer, resulting in smoother operations and improved system responsiveness.
