Why does the IBM Power 7 have such miserly performance?

It's okay but don't you need software than is designed to take advantage of parallel processing?

Because benchmarks aren't that reliable a gauge of performance?

You know, the Zynq7020 version looks promising.
Although the Parallella64 would make it more so.

Seems rather fine. Didn't really say what type of P7 it was.
If you look at one of the other Coremark results you see that with 64 threads it tops the performance chart, and as such does what it was designed for: Not slow down when you throw massive parallellism at the system.
