This document discusses Intel's compiler optimizations and how they may differ depending on the microprocessor. It notes that:
- Intel's compilers may optimize differently for non-Intel microprocessors, including optimizations for SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets.
- Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on non-Intel microprocessors.
- Microprocessor-dependent optimizations are intended for use with Intel microprocessors only. Certain non-Intel specific optimizations are also reserved for Intel microprocessors.
