EP, I am not sure how familiar you are with programming but you can make a compiler optimize specific chunks of code easily. All you have to look for is patterns and substitute hand-tuned assembly code instead of generically created code. The way to do it is to run SPEC through a profiler first and see where most of the time is spent and concentrate on optimizing for those parts. Still, not a trivial task. I don't know if Intel would hire a team of assembler code experts to do this.

p.s. This can be proven/disproven easily if someone has access to the compiler source code.
