As I said..Intel compiler...why? Because it gives the greatest benefit.Originally Posted by justapost
I did a quick search after your respond, had info from blogs and newsgroups.
My post was about sse4a not yet reviewed. It might have a little impact on codecs, but no 40% improvement over all.
What compiler does MS use for their operating system? AMD suggest MS compiler.
I wonder what a benefit linux distributions will have on k10 arch from gcc improvements as those also tune for prefetching.
Why do MS make a compiler for VS2008? Because of cost...
I guess you are on a dreampath somehow to hope SSE4A "fixes" it. Yet if you compiler for SS4A and SSE4. It would just be even worse. SSE4A is mainly a gimmick to pretend to have SSE4 for joe average.
Also AMD dont suggest MS compiler. They even themselves use Intels compiler for Barcelona spec benches.
So with all respect..leave it as it is. We dont need another "wait and see" fantasy. Simply because you eat marketing raw! Do I even have to remind you it was the SAME marketing department telling you barcelona would be 40-50% faster than Core 2 clock for clock?
