Eight-core 2019 15-inch MacBook Pro crushes mid-2018 model in benchmarks
The new 2019 model might not throttle like the 2018 model. The CPU could be more power efficient or the cooling has changed. Try to se this.zebra said:I bought the i7 MacBook Pro 15" 2018 rather than the i9 knowing that the i7 would likely do as well for volumes of work with minimal throttling.
I would not buy an 8 core knowing that the i9 with 6 cores does not achieve its performance capabilities except for a few seconds until it throttles down due to excessive heat. The i9 and the new 8 core both require a revised platform to achieve their performance potential. I consider these upgrades a waste of money under the present configurations.
