Dave Lee reruns his MacBook Pro 2018 tests with Apple’s patch in place

Dave Lee started this whole thing, and this is him taking Apple’s new patch for a spin to see if things really are fixed. Good results, thoughtful take on thinness and compromises.

One side note: The day before this patch hit, I tweeted about a Reddit take on thermal throttling. The Reddit take implied that the issue was an issue with the Voltage Regulator Module and not the CPU. This was the first take I saw that implied that this issue was fixable in software and not an Intel i9 issue, not a hardware heat sink issue (at least not completely).

The Reddit take has also been updated to reflect Apple’s patch. All very interesting. Glad this is resolved.
