Thats pretty slow ain't it? We have phones and tablets that are faster than that now!

ARM is not exactly faster than Power PC in certain regardes, the goal of ARM is more on power efficiency.

If it was a portable system that would be a good enough reason, but it's constantly plugged into the mains, so why would it have to be super energy efficient?

My guess is that it would also be easier and safer to overclock later on in its cycle without overheating.
