Hz is already taken, and I can't stand it when people use it to describe hashing performance. It measures clock speed, not hashing performance.
My 7970 runs at 1.2GHz, but only gets 0.7GH/s. I can't say it runs at 1.2GHz and hashes at 0.7GHz, that's just way too confusing!
first of all
Hz is the symbol of Hertz
H is hashes.
so your 7970 gets .7 GH's at 1.2 Ghz's
understand there's a difference between Hertz and hand hashes, the z wasn't just throw in there for shits and giggles.
Hz is the SI unit for cycles PER SECOND. The CORRECT way to write the above is "7970 gets .7 GH's at
1.2 Ghz" there is no cycle per second second.
I can't say it runs at 1.2GHz and hashes at 0.7GHz
, it is irrelevant what you think you can and cannot say, it is a matter of clearly communicating information using a pre-established system, the fact that you might not like it is irrelevant.
You can either say it hashes at 700MH/s or 0.7GH/s, who gives a shit about the perceived clock rate(unless you are talking about clock rates, and then exactly WHAT clock rate are you talking about?, internal /external/stage?)
or you can say my unit hashes at 700MH/s but the EXTERNAL clock rate is only 100Mhz or my unit hashes at 700MH/s and the INTERNAL clock rate is a blistering 1.2ghz.(good luck on a 1.2ghz external clock rate.... you would be microwaving yourself...)
