Geekbench 6.7 adds Intel BOT detection to spoof out 'unrealistic' CPU scores — Benchmark runs with BOT enabled will be marked as invalid

Geekbench 6.7 has introduced Intel BOT detection to flag benchmark results with the Binary Optimization Tool (BOT) as invalid. The BOT feature, supported by Intel's latest Core Ultra chips, can selectively boost performance in specific tasks, leading to concerns about unrealistic performance representations. Geekbench's update aims to maintain fair benchmarking by identifying and invalidating results with BOT enabled. Additionally, the update includes improvements like enhanced SoC identification on Android and better support for RISC-V processors and Arm-based Linux systems.
