With an operating speed of 1 MHz, the Pilot Model ACE was for some time the fastest computer in the world. [52] [60] Turing's design for ACE had much in common with today's RISC architectures and it called for a high-speed memory of roughly the same capacity as an early Macintosh computer, which was enormous by the standards of his day.
