As the video from YouTube Dave Lee shows, the 15-inch MacBook Pro with a Core i9 chip throttles within a minute of heavy use. But it was soon discovered, the 15-inch MacBook Pro suffers from serious thermal throttling issues. The controversy over the 2018 MacBook Pro delivering less than its claimed base speed continues as ExtremeTech notes that. The top-end 15-inch MacBook Pro caught the attention of a lot of prosumers due to its 6-core Core i9 chip.

“This CPU is an unlocked overclockable chip but all of that CPU potential is wasted inside this chassis - or rather the thermal solution inside this chassis. MacBook Pro CPU throttling controversy continues as Intel says it’s ok. “This i9 in this MacBook can’t even maintain the base clock speed, forget about Turbos and all that stuff, it can’t even maintaining the 2.9 GHz base clock, which is absurd,” says Lee in his video. Lee believes this underperformance stems from the laptop’s inability to appropriately cool down the processor, exactly like Zollo. It demonstrated the Core i9 MacBook Pro taking four minutes longer to render a video on Adobe Premiere than it did for a 2017 MacBook Pro with an i7 processor - a less potent chip. “It is to the point where I believe Apple put the processor in the MacBook just to be more up to date, but since it is so thin, there is not proper cooling.”Īnother video, posted by tech reviewer Dave Lee, went viral on Reddit Wednesday and underscored Zollo’s claims. “This thermal throttling is different as it is more severe,” says Zollo. Thermal Throttling es un problema que en realidad afecta a todos los procesadores, pero en el caso del Macbook Pro es.
