There is a 32bit core timer - that is, part of the core itself, not a 
peripheral.  It is somewhat limited in its operational modes though.

I don't think there is any off-chip code in the first releases
(so it's like the AVR in that respect)

It does have this :

Parallel Master and Slave Port (PMP/PSP) with
8-Bit and 16-Bit Data and Up to 16 Address Lines

Which would give high bandwidth interface to CPLD/FPGA slaves,
and SRAM expansion.
