It’s the number of bits the processor moves at one time (eg. 8 bit 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit).

If you are referring to a processor in a computer then we are talking about switching speed. The higher the number the faster the processor is. The switching speed is measured in the amount of switching is accomplished in one second. Mega is millions and giga is billions. Pretty fast working things.
