Graphics in the 13-inch MacBook Pro 13 with an 8th generation Coffee Lake CPU inside should also see a very decent bump, as Intel now integrates 128MB of eDRAM cache over the previous versions 64MB of eDRAM. Ung says that chip would offer a "massive performance leap" over the current 7th gen dual-core processors. The 2018 MacBook Pros use a redesigned switch.PC World's Gordon Mah Ung speculates that Apple may opt for the Coffee Lake Core i7-8559U (base frequency of 2.7 GHz) for the MBP 13 (see Coffee Lake list above or the same list on Intel Coffee Lake Mobile ARK page.) The company has initiated a free replacement program to fix faulty keyboards on MacBooks and MacBook Pros sold from 2015 to 2017. In addition to facing criticism over CPU throttling, Apple is also dealing with several class-action lawsuits that claim the keyboard switches in earlier models of the MacBook and MacBook Pro are faulty. Those claims are still accurate, according to sources familiar with the matter, because these tests were run using test hardware that was not affected by the thermal throttling issue in the initial shipping units. The company initially claimed that the new 15-inch MacBook Pro is up to 70 percent faster than its predecessor, and the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar up to twice as fast. It is unclear how such a significant thermal issue escaped Apple's notice before it started selling the new laptops.

As soon as it receives the update, we will perform our benchmark tests again to determine if there's a performance improvement and update the review and our readers. PCMag's MacBook Pro review unit has not yet received the firmware update, as of publication time. We were consulting with Apple on diagnosing these issues when we were given an advance heads-up about the July 24 macOS update. However, our 13-inch MacBook Pro sample did experience some graphics-stuttering issues in the course of testing in PC Labs that could be attributed to thermal throttling. PCMag has not independently verified the throttling issues that Lee reported on the 15-inch MacBook Pro.
The base-model 13-inch MacBook Pro without a Touch Bar is not affected, as that machine was not updated in the 2018 refresh. The tests showed throttling not only on the Core i9 laptop, but on all of the models that were announced this month. In a YouTube video posted last week, technology commenter Dave Lee claimed that not only was the Core i9-equipped MacBook Pro running slower than its base clock speed, but that it was also completing video rendering tasks 11 percent slower than the previous-generation MacBook Pro with a Core i7 processor.Īpple replicated the issue by conducting its own testing using a similar but not identical workflow to the one Lee demonstrated, according to sources familiar with the matter. The Core i9 in that model is designed to run at a base clock frequency of 2.9GHz, with a 4.9GHz maximum using Intel's Turbo Boost technology. Tuesday's firmware update comes after reports surfaced last week that the top-of-the-line 15-inch MacBook Pro with a Core i9 processor was running, at times, at 2.2GHz under heavy workloads, such as rendering video in Adobe Premiere Pro.

The company recommends that all owners of the new Touch Bar-equipped 13-inch MacBook Pro and 15-inch MacBook Pro install the update.

"We apologize to any customer who has experienced less than optimal performance on their new systems."Īpple said that a software update, macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Supplemental Update, will be available for download today from the Mac App Store to correct the problem. "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 spokesperson told PCMag.
