Heh, I have a last gen MBP 16” with i9.

It’s basically never an i9, because once it hits 70°C it starts throttling quite rapidly and then stays stuck between 1.0 and 1.4 GHz clock speed for at least 5 minutes, and what good is an i9 running at 1 GHz?

Their laptop cooling has been absolute dogshit for the past (at least) 10 years.

It’s more of an inadequate cooling combined with Intel releasing CPUs that run just hotter and hotter.

I can’t wait to upgrade to a 16” MBP with an M1 Max (or next gen if they release it by then). There are still some essential tools in my workflow that don’t work all that great on ARM.
