This both confirms and expands upon Dave Lee's analysis. It confirms that the i9 throttles below its base clock, but adds that the 6-core i7 stays above its base clock, which is good news for Apple. So the 2018 MBP performs as advertised if you stic…

But can it mow the lawn? The next step with these things will be when they don't clean periodically, but rather integrate with home cameras and clean up crumbs or spillage immediately it happens. That would be so cute, you drop some crumbs and a li…
