Tested: Thermal conditions in the 2018 i9 MacBook Pro dramatically hampering performance
I was able to reduce throttling a lot on my fully specced 2016 macbook pro by getting a metal stand that passively cooled the laptop. The metal exterior works as a heat sink and cooling the outside helps a lot. I would be interested seeing this test again using a couple different exterior cooling options for the macbook. Also when I went to an EGPU it was totally not an issue for me anymore that I noticed so that would be a great test as well. The only time you keep the CPU continually pegged aside from benchmarks would most often be games or renders.
