There are 3 kinds of lies:
Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks.
If at all possible, run your client's app on all relevant platforms.
That said, you might want to look at spec.org - they have specific
benchmarks. E.g. SpecInt2000 for integer cpu speed.
Do note that there are there quite noticable differences between
machines with the same CPU(s), which means that even for raw cpu speed,
not all machines are created equal.
