megahertz

megahertz
Noun

This term functions as a technical unit of measurement within the realms of computing and telecommunications. It carries a neutral, scientific connotation and is used almost exclusively in technical specifications to describe the speed of a CPU or the bandwidth of a signal.

Grammatically, this noun is an invariant mass noun. It does not take a plural s even when referring to multiple units, such as in the phrase 500 megahertz. Because it lacks a plural form, it is treated as an uncountable entity in English syntax.
