  • Tested: Thermal conditions in the 2018 i9 MacBook Pro dramatically hampering performance

    tommy65 said:
    Dutch magazine showed that The TDP is not 45W but 120W under load. Now all make sence. So no thermal but TDP problem instead.
    120W for an core i9?  I remembered the worst chip from Intel in the previous generation only hit 90W almost, but not more than 100W.

    Not even a Type-C can give enough power to drive that thing.

    Clearly Apple thinks the customers need it........... 

    The market demanded it, Apple listened. 

    Edit:  
    Nevermind, they are already downplaying the fact they were wrong. 

    Unfortunately for you, gloating only works when you don't make stuff up to do it.

    No one said that "no one needs 32GB of RAM"

    What lot's of people said was "How do you know if if it doesn't work for you if you haven't tried it?"

    And I think the case still stands that most people like to think they need 32GB, but they actually don't.

    It’s better in performance, nonetheless.  We can questioning them why not do that in the first place, but then it’s not important anymore.

    Until 2 weeks from now when everyone starts whining on how they can't live without 64GB of RAM.

    Damn you Apple. Why did you put in 32GB? What will all the pretend haters who claim they run multiple VMs whine about now?
    It’s 2018 now. Everyone knows a machine can’t be “Pro” unless it ships with 64GB.
    What fools you all are. 128GB is the new PRO standard. Don't mind the 2 hours of battery life!
    EXCUSE me.

    256GB is the actual Pro standard. And don't tell me you're a professional unless you have any processors less than 18 cores and have at least 7 VM instances running 24/7.
    No, EXCUSE ME.  if you find yourself running out of RAM, then you’ll always need more RAM.  There is no such a thing as “Pro” standard memory.

    They did not update the non-touch bar 13 models... Kind of ridiculous to keep selling intel 7th gen and 8th gen models side-by-side. Well at least its saving me the urge to spend $1300. Better luck next year.
    It’s Tim.
    It's an incentive.
