Let's talk actual systems, not estimated processor benchmarks.
January 1996 Byte, Page 140 Graph "Raw Performance: The VIS-less Ultra
I".  Sorted in order of integer performance:
----------------------------------------
DeskStation Raptor 3 266 MHz Aplha 21164:                3.75, 4.49
IBM Personal Computer Power Series 850, 133 MHz PPC 604: 2.90, 2.92
Sun Ultra I Creator 3D Model 170 167 MHz UltraSparc:     2.18, 1.54
Intel Reference System, 150 MHz Pentium Pro:             2.10, 2.60
Netpower Fastseries MP 200 MHz Mips R4400:               2.03, 2.08
----------------------------------------

Come back when there are real systems to test.
