You seem to miss, that compiling Schillix-ON on Intel/AMD based HW takes 18 Ghz hours while compiling the same on Sparc only takes 16 GHz hours. So Sparc is still more effective per clock cycle than intel/amd.
SPARC is still a good architecture and surely better designed from the start than x86, which has an architecture which is traceable across 8, 16, 32, and now 64-bit CPUs. Your evaluation criteria is highly dependent on how much work the compiler needs to do to produce good code.
