Re: "It's not too surprising, actually. The Intel SPECmarks are obtained using an Intel compiler, and with everything tweaked just right. Hard for AMD to duplicate, and a complete waste of time to try."

Not entirely true. Yes they use an Intel compiler, but it is the best compiler on the market and no they don't tweak anything. The SpecInt95 numbers are done with no special compiler options.
