Compiler/MSP430FR6889: performance gain from TI compiler vs GCC

Part Number: MSP430FR6889

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi, 

I was looking at the MSP-GCC site, where it is stated that: "On average the TI compiler often provides about a 15% code size and performance improvement, as compared to using the free GCC compiler for MSP430;'

I was looking into this, but found no real benchmarks or data of this. Is there any public? 

With kind regards

    That statement is about 5 years old, and inaccurate, so it should really be removed.

    Of course it depends on your application, but we have been tracking codesize across a number of "real" example programs during MSP430-GCC development, and performance with other benchmarks. In my experience, the applications that also build with the TI compiler, since 9.2.0 MSP430-GCC matches up to it. However, I'm not sure if I should be giving out the specific details.

    Look out for when 9.3.0 is made available to the public (should be soon), because that contains significant further improvements in code generation.
