While I don't think the ICC situation was fair, I am not convinced that it played a big role in the story of AMD. Was ICC ever really used outside of niche markets, like HPC. I would bet that most of the mediap layers at the time would have been using hand written assembler for the bits that really needed SSE.

There were notable instances of benchmarking suites being compiled with ICC. So even if most applications didn't exhibit the issue, reviews for AMD processors did. And it was a prominent enough issue that a tool was written to search your PC for software compiled with ICC and patch it to work correctly.
