Elmer,

Intel's website shows a later version of the compilers available to the public.

As you are aware, the Intel compilers were intentionally written to generate lousy Athlon code.

Please stop bringing this subject up. You sound like a broken record.

EP << If AMD's FPU is as good as claimed why does AMD need to lie? >>

Is this really all you have left to say bad about AMD? I mean you're way past the point of milking it for all it's worth.

Though it's a very bullish indicator to see the best knock you can come up with on AMD has to do with which version of a compiler they use for a benchmark suite on their website.

Elmer, re:<"the compilers used are the latest available from Intel">

Elmer, I agree you have an honest gripe.

<"the compilers used are the latest available from Intel">

Did you ask them and they refused? If so, please publish their response. If not, please do so and publish their response.
