Re: "Only if Intel open source it will you get anyone to accept benchmarks from code built with this compiler." That's not what people here have been whining about. They say Athlon should be able to execute the pre-fetch instructions from the Intel C/C++ version 4.5 compiler and without those instructions that's why CuMine kicks Athlons but so badly in SPECint & SPECfp. They want a head to head comparison using the same compiler. Now they can have it along with prefetch. When Intel intro'd Willamette at a far higher speed than Athlon, it was put up or shutup time for AMD, they chose to shutup. Now the compiler is available and it's put up or shutup time again with Athlon vrs CuMine. What do you think they will do? Have you noticed AMD has removed all references to SPECint on their website?
