It has already been shown that the intel compiler "advantages" run exactly the same on a AMD cpu. (after forcing the changes to ignore the cpu type) It has also been stated that a company is in full right to apply whatever advantages to there product they see fit, and i agree. I also believe that if we are going to support a change that clearly gives advantages to one cpu type, we should spend a equal amount of time supporting advantages to all specific cpu types. ( the EFER.NXE in the FreeBSD/amd64 loader for example)
