I don't think it was single-cycle, someone mentions a STRCPY instruction that would be quite hard to do single-cycle....


Single-cycle doesn't mean that everything is single cycle, but that the simple basic instructions are. As a rule of thumb, if you can add two registers together in a single cycle, it's a single-cycle architecture.
