Have anyone try intel C++ compiler?

[Carfield Yim]

Is it really faster than g++ ??

[I assume you mean "does it compile code that runs faster?"]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on about a zillion factors,
including the hardware, OS, compiler options and type of code. The
question is more or less meaningless.

Rather the opposite -- it's quite slow, though it produces code that
runs pretty fast as a rule. You don't generally see a huge difference
between the two for integer code, but Intel can often do quite a bit
better when it comes to floating point.

It's very very slow compared with g++ and Microsoft C++ compiler in
Visual Studio 2003/05/08. It's good for lazy and rich programmer for
optimize the float computation part, but it is far away from manually
SSE assembly code.
