The following information is available:

On 16 bit Integer code: 

CPU		ZIFF DAVIS Bench Processor Test
-----------------------------------------------
25MHz 80486SX	6792.91
33MHz 80386DX	5044.00

On 32 bit Integer Code

CPU		SPECint92
------------------------------------------------
25MHz 80486SX	14.24
33MHz 80386DX	8.35

In both cases, the 25MHz 80486SX offers the better perfomance.
