In the face of the controversy Core i9 in the MacBook Pro, Intel withdraws its "Power Gadget" for Mac

You could see this tool in several of our written and video tests, this program to know if the chip cash well load and especially, if it holds the frequencies promised . It is also often on these figures that many testers rely to draw certain conclusions, including the recent controversy around the Core i9 that equips the MacBook Pro 15 "2018 and which – according to some – would be constrained by poor ventilation

Hard to know if these claims are behind the (temporary?) Removal of the utility for Mac, but the link has indeed disappeared from the site of the firm of Santa Clara – may be on request Apple It is obviously very easy to find elsewhere, and we imagine that it will return very soon.Is Intel found some abnormal malfunctions? We must admit that the timing does not leave little doubt as to the reasons for this sudden disappearance.

In any case, we will receive the machine sometime next week, and we will obviously test it from the bottom up in order to give you our opinion.If you have choi if this chip on your 2018 configuration, no panic, some conclusions seem somewhat premature – we do not test a processor on a few precise calculations, but on a set of tasks.
