Do you have a way to monitor or measure the CPU throttling on macOS?
I've found Intel Power Gadget [1] which looks like it might help, however, I'm not really sure what these graphs should look like when throttling vs not.

- washadjeffmad 8y agoLook up the specs for the processor in your system, then chart the temps alongside per-core clocks. On Intel chips with a 1 to 4 core boost, no cores will rise above the base clock when thermally throttled, voltage may increase, and frequencies will be lower. You can run a CPU bound benchmark until temps rise and note when the performance begins to decrease. On desktop Intel processors, this usually happens between 70-80°C.
