I think it's obvious from that data that SPECint is *not* a good database performance indicator.

The POWER4 and POWER5 families are perhaps the best
examples of high performance for commercial workloads not
equating to high performance for SPECint.

Between commercial, technical, and PC/desktop workloads,
SPECint by *far* most closely correlates to PC/desktop type
applications. So it is not surprising that x86 MPUs tend to do
well on SPECint.
