Haim, <A LOT of software uses the Intel compiler for key performance parts (i.e. you might have your performance critical functions in a single or couple of source files that are compiled with the Intel compiler and then linked under MS VC with the rest of the sources - A VERY COMMON practice).> Since the SPECfp code is written in Fortran, that would require rewriting the critical code sections in Fortran. While that would be pretty easy with C, it would not be trivial for C++, and a lot more work then just recompilation. Plus, of course, the Pentium 4 version of the Intel compiler is not for sale yet.
