I think you are ignoring BYTE's statement.

For these tests with these arbitary sets of machines and compilers
the 386 beats the 68020.

Obviously for each application, one should choose the one that suits
it best.

To be honest, there probably isn't much difference between the actual
ICs. They are both state of the art designs with the best technology
available. We all have our preferences but in the end it comes down
to the application. If you want 123 then it has to be 386, whereas
if you want Unix the 68020 is probably the best.
