Is that 30% compared to GCC targeting normal x86 chips or GCC targeting LPIA (Low Power Intel Architecture)? There are enough differences that it makes sense to optimise differently for Atom.

Acer's Linpus Linux Lite (Fedora) ultra portable laptop piles the pressure on Microsoft (FSM) Posted Jul 5, 2008 17:13 UTC (Sat) by rvfh (subscriber, #31018) [Link] It's probably with the worst possible options of GCC, as I found it in the mouth of some of my (non-free software loving) colleagues and on the Intel site ;) More seriously, I can believe that ICC will have optimizations before GCC for this processor, and would bet you can get this kind of improvement figures with some particular uses (multimedia ?). Not sure there'll be much difference on a web/file server though, as memory and disk access will make the bulk of the response time.
