A benchmarking comparison of Solaris 10 and Windows XP (64bit) running on a Sun Ultra 20 M2 Dual Core Opteron 1210 workstation. "Overall, I'm pleased with the performance of the Sun Ultra 20 M2. While this model (with an Opteron 1210) isn't quite as fast as a low-end Mac Pro, it's less than half the price of a low-end Mac Pro. Models equipped with faster Opterons (like the Opteron 1218) will certainly be more competitive when it comes to performance."

More like Sun Studio on Solaris vs Visual C++ on Windows.
Don't know any differences between the source of the benchies between the two platforms, or if there are other things that differ between how the benchies are run, so I'm not gonna comment the results themselves.
