Elmer,

AMD did what AMD did simply because the Intel 4.5 Compiler isn't generally available. I'm sure when it's available AMD will post benchmarks with the 4.5 compiler.

Also AMD *did* disclose that it was the 4.0 compiler, so why get upset. Would you get upset if I posted Spec numbers that were lower for both CPUs cause I used Microsoft compilers?
