Intel Corp (INTC)

PS:I'm shocked that Intel's icc team didnt leap up and take credit for the awesome optimization that led to such an outstanding performance.

As usual, this went completely over your head. Intel's compiler did exactly what it should do, optimize code and not execute unnecessary branches that wonder off into the weeds. A poorly written benchmark leaves itself vulnerable to a genuine world class compiler. That's what happened here and it's simply beyond your ability to grasp.

Why is it you only show up when you see an opportunity to bash?
