This was mentioned in the article, I think. Oh, yeah, here it is... http://www.open-mag.com/754088105111.htm quote: To round out our single processor CPU tests of the Intel compilers, we turned our final attention on a system running with an AMD Athlon CPU. In all previous tests with both the GNU C and MS Visual C++ compilers, AMD Athlon CPUs have consistently performed about 20% faster than a comparable clocked Intel Pentium III CPU?CPU processing power per MHz. When we ran the Intel-compiled version of OBLcpu on the Athlon-powered system the percent improvement was virtually identical to the results run on the Omnibook endquote.
