cpu will require 1000 clocks to perform a single instruction..so property of atomicy of instruction may not remain the same....

Clock speed refers to the speed at which a processor functions. The no of instructions handled by the processor per second. If the Clock speed is increased the no of data acessed and processed will be high.

the answer is as follows
the CPU speed will increases by 10 times the orginal speed
bcoz the clock frequency is directly proportional to the cpu speed

If CPU works properly at 100Mhz then it may not work properly at 1000MHz if it is not designed for 1000 MHz. The moment you feed the 1000MHz it may hang /malfunction coz of overclocking and all transistors in CPU would go in matastable states.
