Bitcoin generates a block every 10 minutes, akin to Peercoin PoS block generation, while Ethereum generates a block every 12 seconds. Peercoin PoW block generation is coupled to PoS block generation as well as PoW hash power and is therefore difficult to approximate, but the total block time of Peercoin can be empirically estimated to be around 8.5 minutes.
