Depends what you read. Without further details, I've read American torpedo, fast ; Russian torpedo very, very fast.

Traditional torpedoes (like those used during WWII) have a speed in water of about 25 to 30 knots (50 km/h).

Experimental modern "supercavitation" torpedoes can travel at speeds up to 200 knots (360 km/h)
