throttling

From the evidence I've seen, I believe firmly that people are vastly overhyping the effects of the throttling in the M2 MacBook Air. The YouTube review I've seen so far with the most thorough benchmarks is Dave2D's, and he went so far as to say that "if you're someone that wants a very powerful...

Like many prospective M2 MacBook Air buyers, I have seen GregsGadgets' game benchmark video showing the M2 Air with 8 GPU cores outperforming the 10 GPU core unit, side by side -- presumably due to more significant thermal throttling in the 10-GPU core unit due to the additional cores. Greg...

Could a few M2 MacBook Air users run this fairly intensive benchmark and report back observations, results? Ideally with some kind of temp monitoring active for CPU/GPU. https://benchmark.unigine.com/valley (it's a free download) I saw GregsGadgets' video showing the 8-GPU M2 Air beating the...

Based on the heatsink modification megathread, and on the advice and guidance from users like @DanSilov, @Loog, @Robotronic, @kinchee87, and others I'm forgetting, I performed both the heatsink and the heat pad mods on my 2020 i7 MBA. The results have been absolutely amazing. Even though all of...

Hi there I've got an A1502 MacBook Pro 13" late 2013 (MBP 11,1; ME867LL/A) which I got secondhand. It's got the 2.8GHz i7 4558U, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Thing is; it runs hot. All the time. Idle temps fluctuate between 65°C and 99°C most of the times. I changed out the thermal paste twice...

There seems to be some recurring confusion in the forums regarding the three CPU options available for the 2018 Mini. The Mini can be configured with: i3-8100B: - 4 cores (4 threads) - 6MiB L3 cache - 2.4GHz DRAM - Max clock speed 3.6GHz - Max iGPU clock speed 1.1GHz i5-8500B: - 6 cores (6...

Hi, I have bought new 2018's macbook pro 15". I am facing overheat problem. I am using extra monitor for my work. I have captured my GPU history which is using AMD Radeon Pro 560 Always. I think that's why my macbook getting overheated. How can I fix it? And in About This Mac shows Radeon Pro...

Hi All. So, for the last 9 months or so I have been experiencing some significant performance issues (that I think are throttling issues) on my MacBookPro. I will try to provide as much detail and information here as I can recall, and will list all of the issues I experience in no particular...

Seems like Intel has released an updated Power Gadget after they removed links to the old versions today morning. Anyone tested it yet? Link: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-power-gadget-20

We have a thread dedicated to the i9 throttling and also about i7's in general but based off the information it seems the base i7 for the 15 inch throttles the least. I would like to hear from people that have information about the 2.2ghz 6 core only as right now I'm trying to decide between 13...

I’ve seen threads about i9 15” 2018 MacBook Pro throttling but not much on the base 2018 13”. So could anyone that has any information on the 13 inch models throttling please let us know?

I have a strange issue with my Late 2013 15" rMBP (i7 4960HQ - quad core base 2.6Ghz turbo 3.8Ghz): Sometimes, under multicore load, my machine will slow down to a crawl. According to iStatMenus, it is sometimes throttling the core frequency down from around 2.6Ghz to only 800Mhz when under...

Since 11.2 Apple decided to throttle my iPhone 7 by 50%. I’m seriously pi**ed. My iPhone is only slightly over one year old. This is totally unacceptable. Anyone else experiencing this with their iPhone 7s? What can I do? iOS 11.2.1 result below iOS 11.0.3 result below

I noticed a lot of people want to know if there are any throttling issues with the 2017 12inch MacBooks. Shall examine this ourselves by performing the same "22 runs of the Cinebench Multi R15 test" done by Notebookcheck.net last year. That test famously (or erroneously?) put m5 above m7...

I've been walking about an hour a day playing Pokemon Go in 100 degree weather. So naturally my iPhone 6 plus doesn't like this. Every time I walk it dims the screen to a level that I can barely see it. Im not complaining, I know this is an extreme condition. I'm just wondering if there is...

MacBook - turbo - video I'm reading a lot of comments about the MacBook not been able to do this and that, let me add, this MacBook is more than capable of doing many Mobile things, video is not one of them but if you must. There has been a hardware USB solution from Elgato called -turbo.264...

What is wrong with the OS X App Store? I bought a Early 2015 MacBook Pro in November. Working great with Yosemite, but I of course wanted the latest and greatest. Trying to download it over Wi-Fi at my brothers and at an Internet Café was not working. I invested in a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter...

Looking to buy a 15-inch retina macbook pro with the dgpu, but I read so much horrible stuff about GPU and even CPU throttling, there was some indication that this was a driver problem and was fixed in El Capitan but I haven't found any conclusive evidence. Is there anyone that has any recent...
