I got faster (10-20%) results with icc on an abstract game minimax AI bot back then (i.e. something similar to a chess engine). Even more so when taking advantage of PGO. Over time GCC caught up.

By nature, this code had no usage of floating point in its critical path.

I haven't bothered with icc in years though.
