- ktta 10y agoHe does talk about the laptop he uses at the end of the post. >All tests were performed on a 2015 MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. For all tests the best of three runs was selected for the result.
- emersonrsantos 10y agoBut how do you disable CPU throttling on an intel macbook to do accurate benchmarks?
- krausest 10y agoI didn't. I believe that is's better to run a few times and take the best run. I payed for the turbo mode CPU and I'd like to know the performance on my machine. There's a lot going on my machine, and even more when a browser is running. The only thing (besides running on a clean machine) one can do about it is to measure multiple runs. Three runs are maybe a bit to little for scientific results, but I considered them good enough for a casual benchmark.
