Answer:

2 million cycles per second

Explanation:

The ENIAC, the first electronic general-purpose computer, used a 100 kHz clock in its cycle unit. It had a 5 kHz instruction rate since each instruction required 20 cycles. The Altair 8800 (by MITS) was the first commercial PC to use an Intel 8080 CPU with a clock rate of 2 MHz (2 million cycles per second).
