Last I checked benchmarking tools are assembled by compilers instead of by hand so the supposed Intel advantage there is already baked into the results.

- brianwawok 7y agoYup. But do you use benchmarks all day on your computer, or do you use applications? Which compiler are those applications compiled with?
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoLinux apps are clang & GCC, macs use clang, windows is clang, gcc, and Microsoft's compilers. AFAIK, icc is pretty small in market share.
- BubRoss 7y agoYou think msvc, gcc and clang all have special optimizations for intel? Intel only controls their own compiler, icc.
- bemeurer 7y agoGCC has `-march` and `-mtune` flags for arch-specific optimizations. Just because the compiler is agnostic doesn't mean it can't have, or welcome, arch-specific optimizations.
