SUMMARY
The processing speed of a computer, measured in bytes per second, is primarily determined by several key factors: CPU speed, CPU word size, memory speed, bus speed and size, threading capabilities, and ALU speed. In the context of image processing, particularly for robotic systems utilizing cameras, the amount of I/O processing required also significantly influences performance. Understanding these elements is crucial for optimizing data processing capabilities in various applications.
