Muddiest Point of week 2 class

Muddiest Point (Week 2):

The clock speed inside of a computer is utterly amazing. I was just wondering what is used, or how it is that this speed is measured? Also, for chip manufacturers, is there a range that is acceptable for a chip that is declared to be operating at 1GHz speed? I am sure that these speeds are not exact so I was just thinking of how much leeway a chip manufacturer would have?
