Tested: Thermal conditions in the 2018 i9 MacBook Pro dramatically hampering performance
So can I take it that Appleinsider will now retract the story posted in response to Lee's video? (https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/07/17/test-suggests-2018-macbook-pro-cant-keep-up-with-intel-core-i9-chips-thermal-demands)
"While thermal throttling is nothing new, especially in portables, Lee's findings are somewhat questionable in that assumptions are being made based on a single machine's performance with an unoptimized app. Making blanket statements without thorough testing is reckless at best and disingenuous at worst.While Lee failed to reach out to Apple for comment, it is highly unlikely that the company would ship a flagship product without first rigorously testing its performance. That goes double for a device like MacBook Pro, considering the company's renewed vigor to serve the professional market."
This was a pretty poor crticism from the author of that article. Appleinsider seems to now have tested along similar lines and drawn the same conclusion.....!
