--- Comment #11 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
With the target("no-sse") attribute, clang turns off SSE but uses a bunch of
64bit stores for the memset while GCC uses rep;stos.

I don't know which one is better on which processors. So someone will need to
do timings on that.  My bet is clang is tuned towards intel processors more
than say a generic AMD processor.
