Summary: "After looking at how Intel's Sandy Bridge processor

performance has evolved with the new GCC 4.7 compiler and Apple's

forthcoming LLVM 3.1 with Clang, here are benchmark results from the AMD

FX-8150 "Bulldozer" Eight-Core processor with GCC 4.7.0 and the latest

LLVM/Clang 3.1 development code along with looking at the performance

impact of various compiler tuning flags for this latest-generation AMD

CPU. Making things even more interesting, AMD's Open64 4.5.1 compiler

was also tossed into the testing mix."
