velocidad de reloj
Explanation:
The Lazo-Ardois Diccionario de Telecomunicaciones (translation of the famous Newton's Telecom Dict.) gives:
Clock Speed = Velocided de Reloj.

Each CPU contains a special clock circuitry which is connected to a quartz crystal (same as the one in your watch). THe vibrations of the quartz crystals, which are very fast, coordinate the CPU's operation, keeping everything in step. CPU clock speeds are measured in megahetz or MHz, which stands for "million cycles per second".

Hope this helps.
