David, I've answered this before. If you're really so interested in
getting the truth, you can get it simply by sending an e-mail to the HINT
people at Ames Lab.

They are slow updating their web site, but they are currently getting a
HINT value of 5.9 on the PowerMac 9500. The best they've been able to do
with Pentium Pro is around 4.

Which of course you could verify if you bothered to send them an e-mail.
