John (and anyone else who is interested)
Here are the 386 numbers
Benchmark Environment
The results were obtained with the Green Hill's FORTRAN compiler
version 1.8.2G. The system we used to run was an Intel Multibus I system
running Unix System V Release 3.0. The CPU board was a 386/24
MultiBus I which has a 64 Kbyte direct-mapped write-through
cache and 2-3 wait states for cache misses.
The floating point processors were the Intel 80387-16 and -20 MHz
and the Weitek 1167 chip set (also at 16 and 20 MHz)
Benchmark 16 MHz 20 MHz
387 1167 387 1167
Whetstone (FORTRAN 77)
Single 1510K 3310K 1860K 4170K
Double 1380K 2070K 1730K 2590K
Linpack (FORTRAN)
Rolled Single 182K 494K 225K 662K
Rolled Double 151K 306K 187K 383K
Unrolled Single 193K 541K 238K 669K
Unrolled Double 158K 323K 195K 405K
There is still some room for improvements in the compiler but these
numbers should be fairly representative of the performance of our
processors. The version of the compiler which generated these numbers
is stil very new (less than two weeks) so there is the possibility
that you may have recieved out of date results.

These views are my own property. However anyone who wants them can have
them for a nominal fee.
