What bothers me is that if a mainstream reviewer benchmarks ICC compiled programs, well, that isn't unfair. Real world programs are compiled with that compiler.

What bothers me is that if a mainstream reviewer benchmarks ICC compiled programs, well, that isn't unfair. Real world programs are compiled with that compiler. AMD processors actually WILL under-perform on certain programs because of this.
That leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
- agumonkey 13y agoHow much ICC compiled binaries represent ? I guess on MS Windows it's the vast majority so you're right[1] but on other platform it's probably GCC/Clang, and there neither Intel or AMD are favorited. [1] or maybe not ? are MS Cxx compilers inheriting from Intel ones ?
- Freaky 13y agoNo, Microsoft make their own compilers.
- wmf 13y agoMaybe any program compiled with ICC should have the same disclaimer as ICC itself so people know that the program is biased.
- GhotiFish 13y agowell, personally I don't think that's enough. I'm amazed they got away with the plea bargain they did.
