Apple has been catching heat over the performance
hoping its new software update will help cool off outraged
power users.
After reports of heat issues leading to throttled
performance, Apple has determined that a simple software
bug was to blame, and has released what it hopes is a
quick fix. In our initial testing, the MacOS update appears
to correct the up-and-down CPU throttling, and we're
continuing to run additional tests.
“Following extensive performance testing under numerous
workloads, we've identified that there is a missing digital
key in the firmware that impacts the thermal management
system and could drive clock speeds down under heavy
thermal loads on the new MacBook Pro," an Apple spokes-
person tells CNET. "A bug fix is included in today's MacOS
High Sierra 10.13.6 Supplemental Update and is
Recommended.
"We apologize to any customer who has experienced less
than optimal performance on their new systems. Customers
can expect the new 15-inch MacBook Pro to be up to 70 percent
faster, and the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar to be up to
2x faster, as shown in the performance results on our website."
