It fixes the legal problem. Intel isn't required to provide an optimized compiler for competitors' chips, but it is required to note that its compiler that is compatible with those chips doesn't optimize code for them.
I don't agree either, but it's a perfectly valid solution (and probably the best for Intel's bottom line).

- nathan_long 13y agoA more effective place to put the notice would be to standard output when you're compiling for AMD.
- Peaker 13y agoYou're compiling for x86, not AMD. The crippled AMD version is based on a runtime check.
