This is not the type of answer you were looking for, but ...

I hear that a prototype PC clone, using DEC's Alpha chip, outperforms
a 386 (486?) by a factor of 5 or so.  This is talking about a PC 
in the $7000 class.  [This is also scuttlebutt, n-th hand reporting,
by an uninterested party who wasn't really listening when I heard it.]
