Gigahertz to Megahertz Converter
Convert between GHz and MHz instantly. 1 GHz = 1,000 MHz. Perfect for WiFi, processor, and radio frequency calculations.
Conversion Result
1 GHz = 1,000 MHz
Quick Reference Table
| GHz | MHz | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GHz | 1,000 MHz | Common processor base speed |
| 2 GHz | 2,000 MHz | Mid-range processor speed |
| 2.4 GHz | 2,400 MHz | WiFi band / Bluetooth |
| 3.5 GHz | 3,500 MHz | 5G network / High-end CPU |
| 5 GHz | 5,000 MHz | WiFi band (802.11ac/ax) |
Understanding GHz and MHz
Gigahertz (GHz) and Megahertz (MHz) measure frequency - the number of cycles per second. One Gigahertz equals one billion cycles per second, while one Megahertz equals one million. The relationship is simple: 1 GHz = 1,000 MHz.
The Conversion Formula
GHz to MHz: Multiply by 1,000
Example: 2.4 GHz × 1,000 = 2,400 MHz
MHz to GHz: Divide by 1,000
Example: 5,000 MHz ÷ 1,000 = 5 GHz
Real-World Applications
📶 WiFi Networks
WiFi operates on two main frequency bands: 2.4 GHz (2,400 MHz) offers better range, while 5 GHz (5,000 MHz) provides faster speeds with shorter range.
💻 Computer Processors
Modern CPUs run at 2-5 GHz (2,000-5,000 MHz). Higher frequencies generally mean faster processing, though efficiency and architecture also matter.
📱 Mobile Networks
5G networks use various frequencies including 3.5 GHz (3,500 MHz) mid-band spectrum for a balance of speed and coverage.
🎧 Bluetooth
Bluetooth devices communicate at 2.4 GHz (2,400 MHz), sharing the same band as WiFi, which is why interference can sometimes occur.
