Re: "When can AMD use Intel's compiler?"

Do you think the code might test the processor ID and only use prefetch if it's a genuine Intel processor?

"Do you think the Athlon's larger L1 cache will help the Athlon prefetch better/more than Cumine?"

I don't know. Maybe someone else does.

Cirruslvr, Elmer failed to mention that all of his SPECint95 benchmarks are run on platforms using RAMBUS memory which costs an extra $500 per 128M.

The performance of the Intel "Memory Translator Hub" on Intel CC820 motherboards, which use SDRAM, is so poor that an Athlon 750 will beat a CuMine 800 on SPECint.
