Which kind of calculation: +, -, *, / is fastest on an intel X86 cpu? Somebody told me / is the fastest, but he didn't tell me why. I have no idea. Can it be proven?

For integer operations on most chips, generally addition/subtraction are fastest, followed by multiplication, with division coming in last. I don't have a link handy but it's pretty common knowledge.

You can refer to the table of this link http://www.tantalon.com/pete/cppopt/appendix.htm#AppendixB_RelativeCosts

I think it is similar to x86 cpu (32-bit). As the table, '/' is the slowest.

All mentioned will be fastest i guess supposed to be. Because these are the common operations in any cpu, so obviously Intel would have tried their best way to keep up the performance with all these operation. So according to my point all these operation will be fast as it should be(that is how they are prepared by the intel)
