The 6502 has very limited pipelining, and every CPU cycle is tied to a memory access with no support for wait states or stalls. At 1 MHz it can work with really slow memory (roughly 500 ns), but at 10 MHz it needs ~60 ns, and at 20 MHz something like ~20ns. The architecture simply wasn't designed for anything above single digit clock speeds. |
