The Pentium II has a number of design enhancements that make it a better choice for multiprocessors. Here are some SPEC numbers for Pentium Pro and Pentium II under Linux:
VA Research System SPEC benchmarks
System RH Linux Kernel gcc SPECint95_base SPECfp95_base
VArStation II 266 4.1 2.0.27 2.7.2 8.92 4.98
VArStation II 233 4.1 2.0.27 2.7.2 7.86 4.48
VArStation Pro 200-512K 4.2 2.0.30 2.7.2 6.93 3.72
VArStation Pro 200-256K 4.2 2.0.30 2.7.2 6.68 3.36
VA Research System SPEC Rate benchmarks
System RH Linux Kernel # cpus SPECrateint95_base SPECratefp95_base
VArServer 4000 6612A 4.2 2.0.30 4 247 100
VArStation YMP 4621A 4.2 2.0.30 2 158 63.3
Unfortunately, I don't have the exact numbers handy, but the dual processor Pentium Pro 200/512 gives a SPECrateint95 of only about 1/3 of the dual processor Pentium II.
