GoKawiilIntel is broadening support for its Binary Optimization Tool, or iBOT, with seven new games. Across the newly-supported titles, Intel claims an average performance jump of 12%, and increases as high as 27%. To unlock support for the new games, you'll need the latest Intel Platform Performance Package. Then, you'll be able to select the games under the Advanced tab in the Intel Application Optimization GUI.
We originally saw iBOT roll out with Arrow Lake Refresh chips like the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, but the feature works on Panther Lake chips, as well as Intel's latest HX mobile chips, Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus. Older Intel CPUs can't use iBOT due to hardware registers Intel must tap into for optimization. However, Intel says it plans on supporting the feature on future CPUs.
Intel initially rolled out iBOT with support for 12 games, which has now expanded to 19 titles. In our iBOT testing, we found that the feature offered an 8% average performance improvement, with the feature climbing as high as an 18% improvement in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
