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."

The Geekbench benchmark isn't that great anyway, and is going to depend fairly heavily on certain compiler and library settings if I remember right. Like how large of chunks memory is allocated in by default - there was a big thread about it quite a while ago.
