It runs at 8 MHz and carries 16 KB of on-chip Flash program memory along with 1K x 8 of RAM.
8 MHz and the 8-bit reality
8 MHz is the core clock speed. On an 8-bit HC08 architecture that means you get roughly 8 MIPS — enough for sensor polling, simple PID loops, LIN or SCI messaging, and basic human-machine interface tasks. It is not a part for heavy math or fast data logging; the 1K x 8 RAM puts a hard ceiling on buffering.
