VC++ is Visual C++, which is owned by MS.
The Intel C Compiler is ICC.
The current beta is compiled with MSVC8 (VC2005, I believe).
And Intel and AMD chips actually both support most of the same
instruction sets, so that's really not a problem.

With Intel's 64-bit stuff on non-Itanium processors being a copy of AMD's 64-bit
x86 extensions, there's no need to worry about lack of AMD CPU support.

There's no such a thing as "Intel VC++". There is a "MS VC++" and there's
an Intel C++ compiler. Are you referring to the latter?

I'll answer all here.
Yes I was referring to the latter, my mistake, I read on an very old
post that The POV-Team had licensed for free a C compiler to make the
official releases of POV-Ray AND Intel has said that WILL NOT support
any AMD features since they are competence and that they copy Intel
stuff and not the other way around, of course this is a lot of bull...
but since you say now is MSVC++ then would be great to include
extensions, in the parts where they fit to accelerate IDE and rendering,
because AMD have at some point different extensions than Intel and maybe
more useulf in certain parts of the code, IMO would be a mistake not
to use a compiler that wont take advantage of those extensions.
