You can get published SPEC benchmarks from http://www.specbench.org.
The Ultra 2 Creator (3D) Model 2200 gets 133 SPECint_rate_base95
compared to 158 for the dual Pentium II. The Ultra 2 is tested with
256MB RAM vs. 128MB RAM for the dual Pentium II. The Ultra 2 uses two
200MHZ UltraSPARC II CPUs and the Pentium II uses two 266MHz Pentium
II CPUs.
