I really hope this isn’t really a cooling limitation but instead something that Apple can fix via a firmware update, otherwise it puts their hardware construction (that many consider a bastion of quality) into question.
- shiburizu 8y ago"bastion of quality" maybe 5 years ago but I seem to hear nonstop how cheap these things are churning out in the newer models. Not based on my personal experience (spent a bit of time servicing recent models and they felt like plastic all over) but I guess the ultrabook workhorse product competition has grown.

- ThJ 8y agoUh, very obviously a cooling limitation. You only do thermal throttling if the CPU would otherwise overheat. What would they fix in firmware, exactly? It's not like you can permit the CPU to overheat, and it's not like you can run the fans faster than their maximum speed.
