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

    People are jumping to conclusions too quickly I think.
    These tests are using the available system that is not really the last and Apple may have already some changes in Mojave that revert the situation (better fans utilisation, better multicores....).

    I tested my MacPro 12 cores 2013 (last model, top) under Mojave and what I get are quite different scores respect to what you get with 10.13. Especially for multicores:
    the numbers are: 3563 for single core (just a little over the standard for this MacPro model, not significant), 30984 for multicores (instead of 26458 of the standard), this is significant.

    So, has someone done the same test on the new Macbook Pro (i7 and i9) using Mojave where clearly something has changed for multicores?

    Again, these real use (not for everyone) tests are using heavily the GPU (OpenCL etc.); as already pointed out, the thermal conditions will be different if you use the computation power of the i9 without the GPU, or not? So are you interested only in graphic performance or computation only with CPU (like Xcode compiling)?
    Results and expectations may be different.
