Intel C++ Compiler vs everything

What are your opinions on Intel's C++ Compiler?

I haven't tried it out but I've read that it produces faster code by more then 5 times
vs. MSVC, MinGW and GCC.
Plus I am rather curious about what size would the output executable be.
But the only issue with it is it's massive price, it's about 1,600$ for each computer last time I checked, so if there's anyone who cannot afford it should "purchase" it on the pirate bay for 0$.

It's shit for non-intel chips and has been proven to "illegally" tamper with benchmarks.

But yes, if you use it right and only on intel chips it will be faster.
