Difficult to say. There are many factors that influence speed like
the bus clock, cache type and size and memory speed.

Assuming a "reasonable" environment a Pentium is about twice as fast
for integer code and 3-4 times as fast on floating point. But as I
said, there are too many variations of PC motherboards to make an
easy comparison.
