Super pipelining simply refers to pipelining that uses a longer pipeline (with more stages) than "regular" pipelining. In theory, a design with more stages, each doing less work, can be scaled to higher clock frequency. However, this depends a lot on other design characteristics, and it isn't true by default that a processor claiming super pipelining is "better" than one that does not.
