Huh. Aren't they measuring totally different things? Mbps=internet speed, GHz=CPU clock speed? (Never done IT though)

You can't really compare, they're two different things. It's like asking: what's larger, 20 km or 20°C?

Actually, they do - except the translation is deep within arcane electrical engineering knowledge in network signal analysis. It's certainly not a linear relationship, that's for sure.

(any amount of data (bps) sent down a line is carried by an electrical signal that has a frequency (Hz)).
