Depends on whether it is instant release or sustained release. Oxycontin is a sustained release tablet, so will not be as strong as an instant release tablet, given an equivalent dosage.
I love how some people say this like they have no clue that one is the acctual drug chemical and the other is just a brand formulation...hopefully you know that
Crush the oxycontin and both things are the exact same strong...

OxyContin is just extended release oxycodone. In the end, it is 30mg oxycodone extended release vs. 30mg oxycodne instant release. If you can completely crush up your OxyContin it will be instant release as well.
Taking one 30mg OxyContin pill would be like taking 15mg of instant release oxycodone every 6 hours.
Plasma Oxycodone Concentration over Time
Dose proportionality has been established for OxyContin 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, and 80 mg tablet strengths for both peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) and extent of absorption (AUC) (see Table 3). Given the short elimination t½ of oxycodone, steady-state plasma concentrations of oxycodone are achieved within 24-36 hours of initiation of dosing with OxyContin. In a study comparing 10 mg of OxyContin every 12 hours to 5 mg of immediate-release oxycodone every 6 hours, the two treatments were found to be equivalent for AUC and Cmax, and similar for Cmin (trough) concentrations (source).
