kpf,

And then, assuming PGI Compilers indeed lower SPEC-scores, why did IBM use it for Spec reports?

Because PGI compiler generated 64 bit code.

(Yes I remember it was me who posted about lukewarm commitment.... and on playing games around Opterons).

I am not sure it is the right conclusion. If IBM is pushing AMD64 bit code, I think it is more of an endorsement than if they used x86 code.

Besides, IBM is pushing Linux, so 32 bit code from Intel compiler under Windows would seem a little irrelevant.
