Elmer,

Why does Intel feel the need to cheat by booby-trapping their compiler for Athlon? Perhaps the inferior FPU on PIII is their motivation?

Elmer - RE: "I can certainly understand how it makes you uncomfortable seeing your beloved company lying and there's now way you can explain it away. It's not simply a matter of AMD being unwilling to use the new compilers, which is obvious."

Why don't you email AMD and tell them what you think is a questionable footnote?
