General Development GCC 4.4.0 has been released. There are many interesting changes, including the merge of the Graphite branch, which is "a new framework for loop optimizations based on a polyhedral intermediate representation", improved support of the upcoming C++0x standard, and a new register allocator.

Thanks for the links adkilla, judging by the (outdated as you said) benchmarks there weren't much difference between gcc and llvm apart from that weird anomaly on the nbody test where llvm was insanely slow. Here's hoping there will be an update to this benchmark comparing gcc 4.4 vs llvm 2.5

Also interesting to see in the icc vs gcc smackdown that gcc 4.4 is edging closer to icc.
