Actually, both. In heavy matrix math (with lots of determinants,
inversions, etc.), Intel beats GCC by a mile. Ditto on "bit-banging"
(bit manipulation, especially for graphics). Didn't disassemble the
code, though; just asked the compilers to output assembler. The
GCC output was so naive it made me wince.
