Lastly, the T2 adds a bunch of security. It often feels like a solution in search of a problem. In our testing, it was about on par with previous generations, which is to say not quite a full day. For him, it was about three hours. You can also get this computer with a six-core i7 chip, or a inch size with 8th Gen quad-core i5 or i7 processors.
The inch model without a Touch Bar has not been updated. Those processors, specifically the six-core i9s, have been at the center of the second controversy. After a video from Dave Lee showed that his Core i9 MacBook Pro seemed to exhibit really bad thermal throttling — so much so that it performed worse than a Core i7 MacBook Pro — the tech world basically went into a full-blown, gate-level crisis.
Here we go again. To its credit, Apple got in touch with Lee and worked to replicate his results. On July 24th, Apple released a software update to fix that bug. Before the update was released, some testers, like Geekbench founder John Poole, have found that the Core i9 can, in fact, be slower than a comparable i7. Others, like Jonathan Morrison, ran test after test after test only to find that the i9 outperformed the i7 every time.
In Adobe Premiere Pro, we saw virtually no difference after the software patch on our particular test. And compared to that two-year-old laptop, that export was only about 8 percent faster. The software update took what was already an impressive improvement and made it even more impressive: 64 percent faster than the model.
Those are, as I said, confounding results. Final Cut X, which Apple presumably had already optimized for this system, saw a huge improvement. Benchmarking really can vary depending on your source footage and settings. Dave Lee, whose testing kicked this whole thermal drama off, has reported much faster results in his post-update test.
Some of our Premiere Pro exports saw improvements as high as 40 percent faster than our laptop. Do I trust these laptops? The truth is that this is mostly an iterative update with faster processors and a few new bells and whistles. So you have to separate what you wish Apple would do from what it has done. And after the software update, what Apple has done is deliver a very good laptop, one I think you can trust. Vox Media has affiliate partnerships.

This CPU is an unlocked, over-clockable chip, but all of that CPU potential is wasted inside this chassis, or more the thermal solution that's inside here. The Thermal Design Point TDP is defined by Intel as the "average power the processor dissipates when operating at base frequency with all cores active under a high-complexity workload.
More on "unboosted" in a bit. Processors are created to run at a variety of different TDP levels, depending on their intended market. Processors meant for desktop computers can afford to have a higher TDP, while notebooks, mobile devices, and tablets tend to use processors with lower TDP values, due to the difficulty of cooling the chip down.
According to Intel Ark, the processor manufacturer's specifications website for all of its chips, the 2. The TDP itself is low, so it shouldn't require an excessive amount of cooling, and with identical TDPs across the board, this means that Apple could add the same cooling system across the board, regardless of selected processor. While a processor is cool, it will exceed its normal operating clockspeed up to its boost speed.
This generates more heat, of course. As that heat builds, the processor will slow down to help dissipate the heat in conjunction with the cooling system. It can even go lower than the normal operating clockspeed if need be to prevent damage. This is why Lee was seeing clockspeeds lower than the normal operating speed — the processor decided it was too hot, and slowed down well past the normal speed to keep heat generation down to what it could dissipate through the cooling system. According to Geekbench, the MacBook Pro have astounding benchmarks.
The "baseline" inch MacBook Pro with iH processor has a in multi-core performance, ranging to a for the six-core iHK in the high-end MacBook Pro. The benchmarks have come under fire from critics, with them saying that there are "breaks" to smooth out the performance. However, that does not appear to be the case. While there are pauses in the test, they are done at the end of each test, not in the middle. So, individual tests are performed under full load, with no cool-down period during the test to keep processor speeds low.
In theory, the chips kept cool should be capable of delivering the performance illustrated by the crowdsourced Geekbench testing. We shifted to a different benchmark for our own series of tests. Using Cinebench 15, we ran 10 total runs on the i9 MacBook Pro. Immediately after starting the first test, the CPU clock speed shot up to 4.
It rapidly drops to 3. It then drops nearly immediately to 2. The speed of the processor varied between 2. The first time we ran the test, it hit The second time it scored an , with an average across the 10 tests of We ran the same tests on the base i7 equipped MacBook Pro and got relatively similar results — which should not have been the case given the difference between the i7 and i9.
Out of the gate, the i7 jumps to 3. After several back-to-back tests, keeping the processors warm and the fans running, we were able to regularly get impressive scores of up to Using Intel Power Gadget, we clocked the processor speed averaging around 2. For our full reviews of both the i7 and i9 MacBook Pros, we're going to hook them up to an external Graphics Processing Unit to see how much the thermal condition varies, when some of the heavy lifting is moved out of the MacBook Pro's chassis.
The same processors in other manufacturer's computers perform the tests faster, and with less throttling — but all machines with the i9 chip do it to one level or another. Apple's MacBook Pro chassis was designed more than two years ago. We got the first glimpse of it in a photograph in May of At the time, Intel was promising smaller and smaller dies, with lower and lower TDP to go with it.
The company didn't make its own die-shrink projections. Even the processor in the MacBook Pro currently is well over 18 months late, according to Intel's ever-shifting timetables. Apple is hardly the only vendor dealing with i9 thermal conditions, and like we said, Premiere performs far better with Nvidia GPU silicon than AMD Radeon gear which explains most of the Dell ripping through the test.
However, while related, this isn't really the meat of the matter given that Lee put the MacBook Pro in the freezer and got better completion speeds out of it. Video producer Lee suggested that the entire MacBook Pro cooling solution, an Apple-designed heatsink and fan module, is insufficient for the beefy and hot i9 Intel silicon as it stands.
We don't know how well Lee's machine was running from a cooling efficiency standpoint, but given the history of the channel, we aren't expecting anything out of the ordinary. Our machines' cooling systems are running fine, and as expected. This isn't a super-crisis, as long as this isn't another thermal paste situation, like back in the relative olden days.
All manufacturers have to deal with it, and what varies is when the throttling kicks in as a result of the heat dissipation system engineering. The most obvious solution right now is for Apple alter the peak speed of the processor by adjusting the power that the chip gets. Ironically, slowing the peak speed of the processor may allow it to finish tasks quicker, as it will slow down less to keep the CPU cool.
As PC overclockers are aware, this is a setting that can be altered. But, not in hardware by users as we are far, far down the road from jumpers that set clock speeds on Macs. We are presently looking at a few software options, and we'll get back to you with our findings. In an oddity of testing the fourth Cinebench run on the i9 MacBook Pro came in higher than the first, at We expect that this is because the fans were already running at a good clip when we restarted the test.
So, Apple can also change the fan speed thresholds to accommodate a CPU load better, by setting them to kick in sooner, and faster than it does at present. This probably won't completely eliminate the thermal situation, but it will lengthen the time it will take to get there at the cost of a louder device when under heavy load. Users can do this with Macs Fan Control , or similar utility. We didn't expect a fix from Apple any time soon.
But, at least the first steps were taken with a patch on July Time will tell how much of a difference that patch makes, and how well it holds up over time. A man has pleaded guilty to reselling almost 1, MacBooks stolen by employees from Tesla, and major universities, and will be sentenced to up to 10 years in jail.

On a fresh install my MacBook runs very hot and crashes when I'm simply watching a lecture and taking notes in One Note. I only use my MacBook case-free and have the display on very low, to avoid excessive heat.
Please help. Nov 10, PM. Nov 24, AM in response to denigada In response to denigada. The reason was that there are some loads that the is already slow in. Imagine my surprise when I found that the model gets very warm on loads that the can handle well without heating up.
I am about to go back to store until I read this post. It's disappointing to see that it's not a hardware issue but an inherent flaw. Now I have to love with my decision to switch. I would switch back if I could. Nov 24, AM. Nov 28, AM in response to denigada In response to denigada.
Thanks for the detailed response. I have the same problem with my new 15 inch i7. Macbook is getting over heated even with a regular day to day activity. I have the latest version of operating system which did not solve the issue.
Apple you definitely need to resolve this issue. Nov 28, AM. Dec 19, PM in response to denigada In response to denigada. Sad to read these posts on overheating of the MBP. I am in desprite need of replacing my current which also has an over heating issue that started out of the box.
Come on Apple — this has been a problem for MBP for a very long time. Figure it out. Dec 19, PM. I just purchased the i7 2. Running Capture 1 Pro Laptop gets hot on my lap. Have been testing for a couple of days now. When on solid surface, the heat does not seem to build up. I understand that the heat is really not an issue as all MBPros.. This is why Apple does not find this to be a problem not talking about recent throttling and fix. My issue is the battery life and RAM usage. It is terrible.
This is supposed to last 10 hours with just basic use? Then ran an export of files at full. It ran fine but was slow on import and export. I figured 16GB would be more than anything I could need. I don't do video.
How can this be? I only had 4 before? I know that the new system and screen use more RAM.. So, will this meagre 16GB now limit me if I want to browse and do other things while I edit and process? What would be the usage against 32 GB for the exact same system and use? Will it still only be 12? I don't know Dec 23, AM in response to jbkbamacophile In response to jbkbamacophile. With respect to memory use, you don't understand that modern opperating systems use all available RAM to increase speed and efficiency.
What benefit is unused RAM providing, none. Actually, it is Dec 23, AM in response to jaysun In response to jaysun It is a notebook computer not a laptop computer. Your link specifically says " If your MacBook Pro is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable, well-ventilated work surface.
Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body. This gives instant access to needed resources. When additional RAM is needed by another app then the stored data is immediately replaced with the newly needed data. Once again, what is the advantage of having unused RAM? Maybe on old slow systems there may have been an advantage but this is , new systems have figured out how to best use all available RAM.

Question: Q: Question: Q: Macbook Pro overheating, and other strange problems Hello Apple support community, I am a long time Apple admirer but I'm so unhappy with my latest purchase. Here's what Apple says about the heat. It will surely decrease the life of my computer: I am also really disappointed by the bad battery life of this laptop compared to my macbook air.
Here's a picture of the battery life under normal load: I think it is so bad because of the heat problem Here's the battery life when the computer is cold: For the heat issue, I took different screenshots in different scenarios and have a label for each photo, describing what it is about. I've tested this and I'm sure that VPN connection blocks Airdrop usage between my macbook and iPhone X macbook pro sound got stuck in the middle of the song - had to force restart the computer - YouTube macbook pro screen gone - had to force restart the computer - YouTube macbook pro won't turn on after crashed - YouTube macbook pro wont sleep - YouTube I am hoping to get support here because trying to get support through live chat and phone support, but they just kept asking for hardware test and stuff, and hardware tests didn't show any issues.
