Intel 64-bit compatible compiler for AMD64?
Hi, Recently Intel released 64-bit compatible compiler 8.1 which supports both Intel 64-bit x86 and AMD x86-64 chips. I wonder who has actually tried this new version of compiler on and AMD x86-64 system? I downloaded the non-commercial version of the compiler and installed on my Opteron system, however, only the 32-bit version can be installed.

Really ?!?!?! What version, etc. ? I just spent about 50 minutes last night (literally) downloading updated Linux Intel FORTRAN & C compilers (8.1.19 FORTRAN, 8.1.22 C), what else do I need to get ? BTW, a '32-bit' compiler might still be able to generate 64-bit code AOK, I *think* '32-bit' means it's a 32-bit app, 32-bit internal addressing, could still work OK to get 64-bit code .... Thanks in advance !!!!

I saw a review a few weeks ago on either slashdot.org or linuxtoday.com, in it they said that it was optimized for the Intel platform and though it would generate AMD code, it was not optimized which means on 2 comparable boxes, performance advantage to the Intel.
