1. Comment - Suit: Intel Sabotaged Compiler for AMD

   (Jul 14, 2005 - 3:42 PM)

   The optimized code path should run on all x86 processors be it Intel, AMD or VIA. There should not be two code paths. All processors that are Intel x86 compatible will run the code fine if not slower (or maybe faster, that could be a reason that Intel did this) then "Genuine Intel" processors.
   
   What AMD is saying is that the Intel compiler looks for "AMD" or "VIA" and executes diffrent, maybe even x86 INCOMPATIBLE, code. It should just execute the same Intel optimized code path.
   
   Maybe somebody out there can get the Intel compiler to use the other code path on an Intel processor. I am curious about what would happen.
