"Weren't there some rumours about a longer pipe?"
Yes, although most of those rumors were within the context of Hans DeVries' speculation on AMD patents that would allow the removal of a pipeline stage or two. I suspect that there just wasn't time to make those kind of changes, but that leaves the possibility of a better branch prediction and/or hardware pre-fetch, which are buried quite so deep in the core.
