Smallpops: AMD can use any compiler it wants to...

Pathscale is referred to quite frequently on the amd board. And Microsoft makes a compiler too? Are you saying that Intel has a monopoly on compilers now? Do you think its unacceptable to make a compiler that is optimized for intel products???

In fact don't most droids argue that the intel compiler is just used for SPEC? If so then why would AMD care:)

Above and beyond that, the compiler works fine for the AMD product. They certainly aren't going to optimize for AMD.
