Define "better"?  If you simply mean which would give a higher
sustained rate of output, then the latter, almost certainly.  It
has a processor which is some 27% faster, and double the RAM.  Even
though the Linux cli is a hugely more efficient platform to run on
there's no way it can make up that much difference.

Absent information about the machines' caches and memory bus speeds
and widths and the kind of DRAM installed, you categorical statement
of which would process SETI@home work units faster is not justified.
