The 987/150 is rated at a 45, the 996/100 is rated at 48, the 996/400 is
rated at 130.

If you were looking at a single CPU heavy process in a batch job, then I
would expect that the performance be identical.A single process can only use
a single CPU at a time. Also, IME, a heavy mix of write intensive
applications can make the multi processing factor smaller, in this case
closer to  .5 versus .7 (130/4=32.5, 32.5/45= .72)
