Actually, Intel was 20% faster overall on the Pentium IV in the benchmark
test you cite. The article says:

"On the Pentium III, gcc and Intel run very close together. The Pentium IV 
tests, however, show a trend that will continue throughout the rest of these 
tests: Intel produces faster code on almost all tests, and produces code that 
is 20% faster overall. Only on the Sparse Matrix Multiplication test did 
gcc generate the fastest code."

20% of a 3 GHz machine is a lot of cycles.
