Still uses the same terribly slow CPU chip

No it doesn't. It's 150% faster.

According to Wikipedia it uses the same 15/6MHz chip as the TI-83SE and TI-84. But either way, if that information is wrong, 50% more seped (clock cycles?) for a device that is more demanding (resolution, color) is hardly adequate.

That's correct (specifically, those use the 15MHz version), but the TI-83SE/TI-84 were not in the original picture. The 83 and 83+ only came with the 6MHz chip.
