Looking at the specs: 32 KiB of L1, 256 KiB of L2, in-order and partial dual-issue.

That's the least forgiving kind of chip when it comes to performance: fast enough to outpace main memory by two orders of magnitude, yet the slightest speed bump (branch misprediction, cache miss) stalls it without any ability to reorder around it.
