What is Clock Cycle？

A clock cycle is the fundamental unit of time in a computer's processor, representing one complete pulse of the system clock that synchronizes all operations.

Simply Put:

Think of a Clock Cycle as the computer’s heartbeat. Each beat sends a signal that lets the CPU do one task, like adding numbers or getting data. The faster the heartbeat, the more tasks it can do, just like an athlete performing better with a faster heart rate.
