Is the 2018 MacBook Pro subject to excessive thermal limitation?

The Apple's high-end 15-inch MacBook Pro 15-inch is equipped with a powerful 6-core Intel Core i9 processor, but a reviewer from YouTube has hinted that the device strangles excessively the CPU performance when it's too hot. 19659002] Thermal throttling is a fairly common practice – it limits the performance of components when they are too hot, protecting the device from damage. The more a component works as a processor, the more heat it produces.

YouTube reviewer, Dave Lee, posted a video (which you can see below), in which he claims that the Core i9 edition of the 2015 MacBook Pro is warming up very quickly, causing the camera to crash. kick throttling and reduce the clock speed of the processor. The lower the clock speed, the slower the processor

Slow and stable

As we have mentioned, the thermal limitation is a common practice, but Lee is worried that the limitation started so early – he claims after a few seconds of video editing in Adobe Premiere – and that the limitation slows down the Core i9 chip to 2.2 GHz, which is below the 2.9 GHz base clock, the processor should normally work.

Lee also manages the i9 MacBook Pro in a freezer and in a colder climate, the laptop works faster. make a video from 40 minutes to 27 minutes. As Lee points out, this suggests that the thermal solution inside the MacBook Pro, which is designed to keep its components cool despite the slim and lightweight design of the laptop, does not make a very good job.

is just the results of a person, using a single application and benchmark test. We'll be back to the 15-inch MacBook Pro 2018 soon, and we'll be watching its temperatures and performance closely.
