I have been using the GCC Compiler for months, which is great, and works very well. But I wonder which C++ Compiler do big/medium enterprises use for high optimizations/performance in Linux (x86, PowerPC...).

As far as I know, the best PowerPC Compiler is the XL, but x86 I dont know anything.

Intel Compiler Collection, Sun ONE Studio, IBM XL C Compiler, Open64, Open Watcom, and of course GCC.

I presume some companies must be using Sun ONE & xlC for porting large projects as there is no reason why anyone would normally to use them.
