Intel's "cripple AMD" function

I think the parent was talking more about third parties doing benchmarks. If someone (not Intel) uses benchmarking software compiled with ICC, it might report erroneously bad results on an AMD system.

Yup, that was my point. Also, 'caveat emptor' has limits - Intel should at least state that their compiler produces suboptimal code for their competitors' CPUs.
