SPEC invalidates thousands of benchmark results — multiple Intel Xeon CPUs affected, are they not as fast as they seem?

The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) has invalidated over 2,600 results for Intel Xeon chips due to concerns over targeted optimizations for a specific workload. SPEC accuses Intel of tweaking its products to achieve better benchmark results. SPEC CPU 2017, a widely used benchmark for high-end servers and workstations, is affected by this controversy. The issue relates to the Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler, allegedly optimized for certain benchmarks. The invalidated results have a disclaimer, and while benchmark figures are not always reflective of real-world conditions, targeted optimizations can skew results.
