That question is like asking how much bandwidth "a CPU" can handle.
 The answer can only be "it depends".

It depends very much on:
 what Squid version you are talking about,
 what hardware its running on (NIC speed, CPU speed, disk I/O speed),
 what features have been configured for use,
 what ACL tests are being run,
 and finally ... what the input traffic actually contains.

Somewhere between 0 and 3000 RPS per-CPU. Still depending on the
things listed above.
