Is there any difference between the Intel C++ compiler in the Base and HPC toolkits ?

Hi Edward Diener,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

ICC (Linux), ICL (Windows) are classic Intel C/C++ Compilers. Whereas, ICX is Intel nextgen compiler based on Clang /LLVM technology plus Intel proprietary optimizations and code generation.

• You may use ICC for performance on CPU targets.
• ICX enables OpenMP TARGET offload to Intel GPU targets.

The Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler (icx/icpx or dpcpp) can be found in the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit, Intel® oneAPI IoT Toolkit, or as a standalone compiler.

Whereas, the Intel® C++ Compiler Classic can be found in the Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit, or as a standalone compiler.
