Note that the information about hardware is based on numerous source and are not guaranteed to be correct. It is most likely that there are several incorrect informations present.

Note that there will never be a list of x86-64 systems as those are just generic x86-64 systems.

VUPS

VUPS is a geometric mean of a benchmark suite of 99 benchmarks with VAX 780 = 1.0 (only used for VAX systems)

SPECmark89

SPECmark89 is a geometric mean of a suite of 10 benchmarks with VAX 780 = 1.0

SPECint92 and SPECfp92

SPECint92 and SPECfp92 are geometric mean of respectively a integer and floating point benchmark suite with VAX 780 = 1.0

SPECint95 and SPECfp95

SPECint95 and SPECfp95 are geometric mean of respectively a integer and floating point benchmark suite with SparcStation 10 (40 MHz SuperSparc) using conservative optimization = 1.0

SPECint2000 and SPECfp2000

SPECint2000 and SPECfp2000 are geometric mean of respectively a integer and floating point benchmark suite with Ultra 10 300 MHz using conservative optimization = 100

Since both VUPS and SPECmark89/SPECint92/SPECfp92 is based on VAX 780, then 1.0 VUPS = 1.0 SPECmark89 = 1.0 SPECint92 = 1.0 SPECfp92 is an obvious assumption.

Since a SparcStation 10 is rated at 50.2 SPECint92 / 60.2 SPECfp92 and 1.13 SPECmark95 / 1.38 SPECmark95 (note that those are with aggressive optimization not conservative and therefore <> 1.0), then an assumption would be 44.0 SPECint92 = 44.0 SPECfp92 = 1.00 SPECint95 = 1.00 SPECfp95.

Since an Ultra 10 300 MHz is rated at 12.1 SPECint95 / 12.9 SPECfp95 and 133 SPECint2000 / 126 SPECfp2000 (note that those are with aggressive optimization not conservative and therefore <> 1.0), then an assumption would be 10 SPECint2000 = 10 SPECfp2000 = 1 SPECint95 = 1 SPECfp95.

But do not use such primitive bencmarks as an indication for how your application will perform. Those bencmarks are very CPU intensive, while real world applications often also depends on disk speed, net speed, graphics speed etc.etc..
