Intel also usually releases a beta every year with all the new features bunched together. They don't tend to push features out in frequent incremental updates instead opting for yearly releases with bugfixes in point releases in between. I love the work being done by the clang and gcc teams, but I still stick with Intel's C++ compiler for many things due to its far better support for automatic vectorization among other things.
