A CVS version of the yet to be released GCC 3.4 is reaching parity with ICC on floating point performance according to SPECFP2000. SPECINT still isn’t as good however GCC is making big improvements there too. I hope that this is an indication of things to come. Congratulations to the GCC team are in order.
This is excellent. Any bets on how soon you’ll be able to build a Gentoo distro around GCC 3.4?
