Answer:

Instructions

Step-by-step explanation:

In computer science, an instruction is an order or operation given to a processor by software (computer program). A group of instructions is called a field. Fields of instructions are first stored in the memory of the processor and then executed by the microprocessor. The microprocessor's clock speed is the speed at which it executes instructions.

The more the Instructions

Also referred to as clock rate, clock speed is that speed the microprocessor executes each instruction. The CPU requires a number of cycles to execute an instruction. Thus, the faster the clock speed, the faster the CPU and the faster it can execute instructions in a second.
