6502 processor - what clock speed did it run

[Killer42]

Hi all.

Does anyone remember what the clock speed was on the 6502 processor which was used in the old Apple II?

According to Wikipedia it ran at 1MHz, but I think this is wrong. Wasn't it 1 KHz?

The original Apple I and II used the 6502, and later the Apple //e used the 65C02. I don't think that 1KHz would have done it. I 98% sure that it was 1MHz.

This data sheet says "Low Power consumption, 150uA@1MHz" for the later model.

I found data on the 6502. It was a scan of a photocopy, but it was legible. it says "Cycle time 1uS". So the pedia is right.

Yes, I knew about the 65C02 (used to write assembler for it).

I'm willing to accept the consensus (including one or two people I asked at work) that 1MHz is right. What a shame - to be able to gloat about outsmarting Wikipedia might have been nice...
