NIOS vs ARM

Does anyone know how does a NIOS softcore, implemented on a MAX10, compare to an ARM hardcore, from a speed point of view?

If you need just more performance just go with fpga with arm integrated, no hassle with high speed signal integrity issue between cpld and ic that could be a bottleneck.

Arm core is more optimized than nios but more complex
