Apple wouldn't take the PR hit from these overheating issues only to achieve higher scores on benchmarks that basically nobody factors into choosing a phone. We also don't know yet if they're downclocking now or if there was some other issue; I'm eyeing the new USB-C charging since that was a real problem on earlier MBPs.
