All three 15-inch Mid 2018 MBP configurations benchmarked are at the top of Geekbench for multi-core, only behind iMac Pro and Mac Pro models [1].
Here they are in isolation compared to the 2017 and 2016 15-inch models sorted by score descending overall:
| Model | Configuration | Score |
|---------------------------------|------------------------------------------|-------|
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2018) | Intel Core i9-8950HK @ 2.9 GHz (6 cores) | 22547 |
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2018) | Intel Core i7-8850H @ 2.6 GHz (6 cores) | 21266 |
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2018) | Intel Core i7-8750H @ 2.2 GHz (6 cores) | 21096 |
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2017) | Intel Core i7-7920HQ @ 3.1 GHz (4 cores) | 15550 |
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2017) | Intel Core i7-7820HQ @ 2.9 GHz (4 cores) | 15251 |
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2017) | Intel Core i7-7700HQ @ 2.8 GHz (4 cores) | 14374 |
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2016) | Intel Core i7-6920HQ @ 2.9 GHz (4 cores) | 14134 |
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2016) | Intel Core i7-6820HQ @ 2.7 GHz (4 cores) | 13706 |
| MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2016) | Intel Core i7-6700HQ @ 2.6 GHz (4 cores) | 13008 |

- lykr0n 8y agoThe Macbook Pro has a great 100m sprint, but it can't complete a 1km race without crawling across the finish line. Geekbench takes a few minutes to run. If you ran it back to back to back without letting the laptop cool down, you'd see different numbers.
- zzleeper 8y agoWere the benchmarks run on a cooled room? Some years ago, as a student, I paid $$$ for a Toshiba with 4 cores and hyperthreading, and I could only run them well on the winter or in a very cool room. In the summer it would reach 100C and constantly throttle, so I do think that temperature is a key issue, sp. now with slimmmer laptops
- tedmiston 8y agoNot sure on an individual basis but the Geekbench numbers are aggregate across all users of the machine. I reached out to the video author to see if he'd be willing to run Geekbench on it in a freezer vs not. https://twitter.com/kicksopenminds/status/1019420588467740673 https://twitter.com/kicksopenminds/status/101942058846774067...
- firmgently 8y agoTwo suggestions were made: 1. Run GeekBench back to back (realistic: a prolonged workload... which would show the Mac as being worse) 2. Working in a freezer (completely unrealistic situation... which would make the Mac seem better). Only one suggestion gets passed on to the video author. Science (Apple flavour).
- tedmiston 8y agoI can't speak for everyone but I already run Geekbench multiple times when I use it and always have. I think most users do the same. The author is experienced in testing machines so I felt this point was redundant to state.
- earenndil 8y ago> 100C Are you sure?? That sounds a bit...hot. Do you mean 100F?
- saagarjha 8y agoThe insides of computers can frequently reach that range.
- isostatic 8y agoMy thinkpad shuts down with a CPU temperature of about 100-105. It's currently idling (98% idle according to top) at 80C, with the CPU clocked down to 1199MHz. The chip is an i5 CPU M 560 @ 2.67GHz The fan is broken, so it can reach shutdown temperature even when I have the "powersave" governer set (which I normally do)
- kalleboo 8y agoMy MBP will hit 99 C before it starts ramping up the fans or throttling the CPU to keep cool https://imgur.com/a/GFkMXfg https://imgur.com/a/GFkMXfg
