Does Intel test the Intel® Compilers on all processor types including non-Intel processors?
A: We cannot test on all processor and platform combinations, but we do perform extensive testing and benchmarking on many platforms that gives us confidence that our optimizations, like /O2, /O3, /Qipo, profile guided optimizations using /Qprof_use (-O2, -O3, –ipo, -prof_use on Linux and Mac OS), and other processor independent compiler options, work well on all Intel processors and Intel compatible processors. Processor values O, W andK are tested on various Intel and non-Intel processors. The processor-specific compiler options like [S, T, P, N] are validated only on those specific Intel processors. These options enable the latest and best optimizations to target Intel's latest and best processors.
Does Intel offer customer support for Intel Compilers used on non-Intel processors?
A: Yes. Intel will accept problem reports and fix issues reported on non-Intel processor-based systems.
