Hello,

There was a discussion about Intel's compiler creating slower code + locking
down the application to specific CPU's(Intel's) on slashdot, if any of you
has time, I recommend you read it.

Someone also pointed out a way to make icc compiled code to run on AMD with
target CPU option turned on here :

And this link points to the original thread :
