I'd guess around 500khz (typical for silicone gate Pmos) but the published
instruction cycle time is 10.8uS(likely a trivial register move). It took
something like 4-5 clock cycles to get an instruction cycle minimum as
address (4bits at a time were output) and instruction was input the same
way. Instruction could and did take several cycles so this CPU was NOT
fast. ;)
