200 MHz for the C6201. Significantly higher for the newer models (which are
otherwise quite similar to the C6201) - at least 400 MHz models are now
available, I believe. The C6 series is (as far as I know) the highest
performance DSP family on the market currently. Pretty nice little processors.

The RAM also varies - the C6 I worked with had 8 MB of SDRAM, as well as
some smaller on-chip memories (I forget what they were. SRAM is quite
possible).
