Chipguy:

You forget that Sun has their own compiler writers and they could simply put a wrapper to detect programs like Intel does, set the options to get the best performance and make base the same as peak. They could also pull some stunts like they did with SPARC and rework algorithms within some of the programs and cut one program's run times enough to make it with only compiler changes. And the output will be not optimal with Intel CPUs and optimal for Opterons, A64s, Turions and Semprons.

When Intel was the only one who could play the rework the compiler game, you didn't have a problem with that. Now that it has a competitor that has the same capability and good reasons for doing so, you now have a problem with it. Smacks of hypocrisy. Tough!
