Nanoseconds Quiz

A nanosecond is one-billionth (10-9) of a second and is a common measurement of read or write access time to RAM.

The term 'nano' comes from the Greek root 'nanos', which means dwarf.

The nanosecond rating determines the speed and latency of the RAM and impacts the computer system's performance.

<p>A lower-memory nanosecond specification means the computer can access its memory faster and generally operate at a higher speed to produce its output.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Smaller units like nanoseconds are required for accurate measurements in scientific and digital applications because a second is the smallest unit of time as represented on a watch or clock, and smaller units are needed for accurate measurements.</p> Signup and view all the answers
