For example, the chip would possibly indicate that it's a 3-GHz part. Which means the chip will perform without error when executed at or beneath that speed within the chip's normal temperature parameters. The "wires" on a chip are incredibly small aluminum or copper strips etched onto the silicon. A chip is nothing greater than a collection of transistors and wires that hook..."
