By an astonishing coincidence, "zero" happens to also be the accuracy of that statement. ;P

Actually, that's a misstatement. AMD has very little activity going on compilers, and Compaq has indeed put some optimizations, if not a lot, for the Athlon onto their compilers.

AMD uses Compaq compilers for some of their spec2000 testing. In some cases, the Compaq compilers have strong performance benefits over the Intel compilers.

Windsock,

Re: "So how is the transfer of Compaq compiler technology to Intel a problem?"

Probably has something to do with "evil empire" theory ... A lot
of "smoke" over here on this thread "clouds" people's vision.

Make It So,
