Question: I use icc (big deal) but lately I'm very skeptical about performance on non-intel cpus. cpu dispatcher, Is it fair for the user?

    I haven't done exhaustive tests, but I believe the following to be the case:
    1. ICC produces code that is a lot faster on Intel CPUs, when compared to both VC6 and VC2005, though the gains are a bit less when VC2005 has SSE2 enabled (but that of course requires a non-ancient CPU).
    2. ICC produces code that is a lot faster on AMD CPUs, when compared to VC6 or VC2005 (when the latter has SSE2 disabled).
    3. ICC vs VC2005/SSE2 on AMD CPUs, that I'm not so sure about.
    My experiences are based on ICC 10.x, I should mention, which is old.
