I detected a small issue related to /QxHost command line option for Intel C++ compiler on Windows platforms. In command line help a description is:
/QxHost generate instructions for the highest instruction set and processor available on the compilation host machine
and
in a Visual Studio IDE:
The processor performing the compilation
Please take a look at enclosed screenshot ( NoteL It looks like a developer could "send" some C/C++ sources to a CPU and they will be "compiled" by the CPU ):

I consider as Incorrect ( very confusing ) and it needs to be updated to match to the description of the command line help.
Note: I'm talking about descriptions of the /QxHost option. I'm Not talking about what the option actually does.
thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. I also think the description in Visual Studio could be more clear. I will forward your suggestion to our documentation team.
