The thing is, Apple caters to the average user, not too much to specific needs. One example of burst-loads would be compiling code. Also, does watching 4K video lead to thermal throttling these days with hardware accelerated decoding?
- rowanG077 4y agoCompiling code is not short burst activity. I would say 90% of the time I spend compiling code is 10+ mins of time. 4K video decoding works on dedicated players. But neither Firefox or Chrome have consistent working support for it on Linux. What does the average user do that requires such a high short burst performance? Besides I'm not so anti bursting if the laptops would still have Oke non-burst performance. But take the laptop I have now. The 9310 XPS 13. Even disabling turbo boost it throttles itself into to the ground to about 1.1 Ghz under load. How is that acceptable? I'm at least happy I was able to mod mine. But it's a total crapshoot when I buy a new laptop. Reviewers don't test it. There is almost no detail available of sustained performance of laptops. Apple M1 macbook pros from what I can say CAN sustain it's performance indefinitely. Which is why I was very interested.
