Scumbria, <Interesting that Intel did not reveal their compiler options. Is it possible that they might have some secrets about compiling SPEC with their compiler?>

What are you talking about? I see the compiler options, right there on the SPEC web page where it should be.

<We need to see some real P4 applications compiled by third parties to get a feel for what P4 can do. That has not happened so far, and it makes me very suspicious....>

Why should it make you suspicious? It's obvious that real P4-optimized applications aren't going to instantaneously appear overnight.

I think it's pointless to accuse Intel of cheating, especially if you don't have a legal team the size of Gore's ... ;-)
