Ampere, a new chip company run by former Intel president Renee James, came out of stealth today with a brand-new highly efficient Arm-based server chip targeted at hyperscale data centers.
The company's first chip is a custom core Armv8-A 64-bit server operating at up to 3.3 GHz with 1TB of memory at a power envelope of 125 watts. Although James was not ready to share pricing, she promised that the chip would offer unsurpassed price/performance that would exceed any high performance computing chip out there.
The company has a couple of other products in the works as well, which it will unveil in the future.

I'm guessing that the problem is that your cores are starved.
Your software (Linux scheduler, individual programs, etc.) isn't using multiple cores optimally.
The hardware (cache layout, busses, storage devices) isn't supply the cores with data optimally.
You can do a lot with 1 core at 1.4 Ghz; you can do a lot more with 8 of them.

This is definitely a problem with this board.
