Some MacBook Pro users complain about throttling issues

The new MacBook Pro has a thermal issue. YouTuber Dave Lee found out that the top-performing MacBook Pro can’t operate at full speed for a long time because it gets too hot.

According to him, a video export in Adobe Premiere Pro is taking longer on a brand new MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i9 CPU than on a 2017 MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i7 CPU (previous Intel generation).

Sure, if you look at benchmarks, the new MacBook Pro <a href="https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks">destroys</a> previous models, and even many iMacs. But Apple is throttling the speed of the CPU so that it doesn’t get too hot under heavy load. <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/07/18/tested-thermal-conditions-in-the-2018-i9-macbook-pro-dramatically-hampering-performance">Apple Insider</a> tested the performance of the new MacBook Pro with a Core i7 and Core i9 model. In both instances, the clock speed of the CPU started to drop drastically after a while. For the i9, the CPU dropped from 4.17 GHz to 2.33-2.9 GHz after some tests. The i7 dropped from 3.8 GHz to 2.3-2.6 GHz under load. Some users on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/8zq5gn/the_core_i9_15_inch_macbook_pro_throttles_itself/">Reddit</a> also got a new laptop and noticed the same issue: <img alt="" class="breakout aligncenter size-full wp-image-1676649" height="403" src="https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-19-at-5.23.29-PM.png" width="1024" /> We’ve reached out to <a class="crunchbase-link" href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/apple/" target="_blank" data-type="organization" data-entity="apple">Apple</a> for comment and didn’t hear back. If all those benchmarks are true, the MacBook Pro might have a ventilation problem. You will never get perfect CPU performances on a laptop compared to a desktop computer due to size contraints. But it becomes an issue when you buy a laptop expecting great performances and it doesn’t deliver. <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=tHOf1AyLojE:LzFF3eohI0E:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_siIvcVndgcDJtxcDk73M5r-U9_h9gU0hsRYHEzRMbsis58LJT6MIw85x7Sy9ZY04G8vJupNnredi89ExQ-T9m7sf7-NELtFuNOycnEKsXDvEGcg6eAlD9OJ546FZWFlLKx6KfgkCINY2gRRz2TSiu0Xapc=s0-d"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=tHOf1AyLojE:LzFF3eohI0E:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_v0XsOkRr0w0PTeEi4WXYzR5sIGAY20dErtrDn0kJSsiCgo5_XtK19Baoy64t8BA-gKvCHgSt0-ASS0guj3kh7ZWeZoNNMP2cYyfyyX5rzw7ZClGQSgBcJiAOnZTfwP7tbOB8lvfTnW285qwFQkPhHGudRK=s0-d"></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/crunchgear?a=tHOf1AyLojE:LzFF3eohI0E:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tqM-FcILBmsx_EN8wlH2Hm_LMmjlgMKxRRokP2He8BQecieX-scQV-ikMaBRHF31qEJ00ckSH3PxK4kjwJzevMOitEI7PICpXx4r4qGxpXhfGIPPagj4Ven_c=s0-d"></a></div> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/19/some-macbook-pro-users-complain-about-throttling-issues/">Read More</a>
