Less than 5 MHz
10 MHz
8 MHz
Just over 16 MHz
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. 8 MHz
The original IBM PC was released in 1981 with an 8 MHz Intel 8088 processor. This was a significant increase in speed over the previous generation of personal computers, which typically had processors running at 4.77 MHz or less. The 8 MHz clock speed allowed the IBM PC to run faster and more complex programs than its predecessors.
The other options are incorrect:
- Option A is incorrect because the original IBM PC had an 8 MHz clock speed, which is greater than 5 MHz.
- Option B is incorrect because the original IBM PC had an 8 MHz clock speed, which is less than 10 MHz.
- Option D is incorrect because the original IBM PC had an 8 MHz clock speed, which is less than just over 16 MHz.
