I have one of these in a Sun SPARCstation LX. it's soldered onto the board.
Running at 50MHz, it's way behind anything in a PC. But it appears to handle load much better than an equivalent PC would (approx 50MHz 486). Perhaps this is because of the sliding register window SPARC architecture. Perhaps it's because of the SCSI hard disk.
Not a bad little CPU.
