> If you've ever heard someone say that a 6502 of one speed is roughly equivalent to a Z80 clocked at twice the speed, now you know why: the internal logic is essentially clocked twice as fast as the input clock.

1 MHz 6502 is about as fast as 3 MHz Z80. Although your mileage my vary, some say up to 4 MHz Z80.
