No it's not wrt a 386DX25 compared to a 286/16. 386SX of the same speed maybe.
you will be surprised if you bench a cacheless 386DX/25 system 🤣
keep in mind that a 386DX/25 is a pretty old 386DX system and a 286/16 is a newer one so the chipset can also make a difference
I have a 386DX25 and a Zenith Z286LP PLus whose performance almost matches a my old generic 286/16, both are 89-90 era and there certainly is a difference if ran side by side.
There's a glitch in the matrix.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
