"Once I ran the binary that was compiled with the Intel-specific flag
(-QxN) through iccOut, it was able to run on the FX51. Much to my
surprise, it ran fine and did not miscompare. On top of that, it got
the same 22% performance boost that I saw on the Pentium4 with an
actual Intel processor. This is very interesting to me, since it
appears that in fact no Intel-specific optimization has been done if
the AMD processor is also capable to taking advantage of these same
optimizations. If I'm missing something, I'd love for someone to point
it out for me. From the way it looks right now, it appears that Intel
is simply "cheating" to make their processors look better against
competitor's processors."

So who is stickong to Intel because of their superior compiler ? ;-)

Pozdrawiam.
