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

    I returned mine even after the software update; it did not resolve the issue. With VMWare, I could not get the device to stay below 85c under decent load while running a few other apps. I could see the slowing of performance as I routinely run other OSs in VMs which kept the CPU load up under normal use. If the VM performed any load for longer than 30 secs, I could visually see the throttling impact the applications. After all, the 32Gig of ram and CPU is meant to give us the horsepower to do this. I also struggled to get anything above 60% utilization and when the power draw was high, it spiked and held 95-100c which was worse than my i7. I appreciate Lee drawing attention to this. It is time Apple made pro machines that provided the performance the components are capable of..
