Normally, when a core executes one single-cycle instruction in one system clock cycle, regardless of how the system clock is generated, it's considered a one-clocker and the manufacturer proudly makes this a central part of his advertising. These guys didn't do this, and, since there's often a lot of ambiguity, I concluded from the remark that it is 8.1 times as fast as a "classic" (12-clocker) 8051, that it was one as well. There are ways in which devices can manipulate their clocks to derive, by PLL/Dll multiplication, a clock fast enough to operate a 12-clocker core at 8 times the input frequency. It probably isn't easy to multiply it by 8.1, though.

So ... I stand corrected ...
