I did some Googling and I can't find anything on this, are you sure? Did you mean "it's roughly as capable as a 6502"?

Some 'window-shopping' at a smart card retailer shows a mixture of Atmel, ARM and unspecified RISC processors in use. That would suggest to me that they not only have different instruction sets, but are much more capable than the 6502. I certainly wouldn't choose a 6502 on which to run my Java applets!
