CPU performance comparison stuff *cleanup*

[hoom]

Anyone know what is the current state of compilers?

From recollection Intels 'do slightly less evil' settlement is expired now so presumably they've resorted to form? Do most game devs still use the Intel compiler?

Visual Studio compiler used to not be great for AMD either but after 2 generations & how many years of development with AMD CPUs in their consoles surely MS has put some effort into making their compiler produce code better optimised for AMD CPUs by now?
(or would they put the effort in for Jaguar in Xbox & leave the AMD desktop/server compiler in the lurch?)

AnandTech: Launching the #CPUOverload Project: Testing Every x86 Desktop Processor since 2010
July 20, 2020

One of the most visited parts of the AnandTech website, aside from the reviews, is our benchmark database Bench. Over the last decade we've placed in there as much benchmark data as we can for every sample we can get our hands on: CPU, GPU, SSD, Laptop and Smartphone being our key categories.

Bench is the centralized database where we place all of the benchmark data we gather for processors, graphics, storage, tablets, laptops and smartphones. Internally Bench has many uses, particularly when collating review data to generate our review graphs, rather than manually redrawing full data sets for each review or keeping datasets offline.

But the biggest benefit with Bench is to either compare many products in one benchmark, or compare two products across all our benchmark tests.

We want to have every desktop CPU since 2010 tested on our new benchmarks. By my count, there are over 900.
