Dave Lee started this whole thing, and this is him taking Apple’s new patch for a spin to see if things really are fixed. Good results, thoughtful take on thinness and compromises.
One side note: The day before this patch hit, I tweeted about a Reddit take on thermal throttling. The Reddit take implied that the issue was an issue with the Voltage Regulator Module and not the CPU. This was the first take I saw that implied that this issue was fixable in software and not an Intel i9 issue, not a hardware heat sink issue (at least not completely).
The Reddit take has also been updated to reflect Apple’s patch. All very interesting. Glad this is resolved.
That would explain why it’s only on this generation, and not the previous generation with the same TDP numbers in the same case design.
