My 2020 is coming in the mail soon! I was very worried as well about the throttling issues given its the same cooling system as previous generations! Thanks for the insightful video. I’m looking forward to my new ten-core iMac!
Hey MPH. Can I ask how it is going? I'm thinking of getting one as well.
@@darbchandler I'm extremely happy with it. This thing is a power-horse. and something about the minimal design is just so conducive to productivity. This iMac I payed 5k (64 gb ram, ten-core processor) for was able to pay for itself within two months with the work I got from having it. And now, 8 months later, I'm doing even better with some very big jobs recently.
Benchmarks Schmenschmarks. I would really like to see workflows in FCPX, DaVinci, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Lightroom, etc
I used it on those its really fast. My fan stays quite entire time.
I agree completely, the Guy is talking that 'temperatures are manageable ... 97C - 100C ..? In his opinion this is manageable? I am suppose to left running 4000$ (MSRP currently in my country) iMAC machine for 2h of rendering video - and be ok with 97C and hair-dryer noise from fans?
I follow your channel and like your videos but I think you were trying to rush to get this video out and be first against the other channels but unfortunately has too many things that are missing, starting from small graphics that are not visible from mobiles, I think this days is very easy to capture the computer screen, using a top end chip with just 8gb. I think this days whit so many people doing good reviews, this sort of details can make a huge difference. Good luck!!!!
I have a 12 core trashcan mac pro. My cpu temp is generally around 40 degrees celsius...
but it doesnt have i9
I watched literally every video you have done on macs... I eventually bought the 2017 model as I am waiting for the new M1 Mac 💻
Thanks for all the help
I would think if the 16" MBP can run that processor without overheating the iMac would have better thermals. 100C is pretty damn hot.
MBP is not running it at 4.3 GHZ
MBP is an 8 core and is also a mobile variant so uses less power. It’s still ridiculous to run a CPU at 100 degrees. It needs a more aggressive fan curve or bigger heatsink. Granted also intel don’t help by being crap.
@@jpracing893 Intel isnt the problem in the apple thermal situation, apple is purposely letting the macbooks run hot so that when they switch to apple silicon, they run that much cooler. After I tore down a macbook pro, I found the their "custom designed" plate that transfers heat from the cpu to the heatpipes/fans wasnt making sufficient contact due to pegs that were purposely put there by apple to prevent the contact from happening or it was a very stupid accident, a quick trip to the milling machine to get rid of these pegs brought thermals down 30C. I reckon apple is using the same strategy with their imacs, this will make apple silicon seem way better when in reality it wont be that much different to intel in terms if thermal performance
I just purchased the 27 inch IMac 2020 with the upgraded intel I9 processor and 1 terabyte SSD. I’m loading it with 64 gigs of RAM. With room to go up to 128 gigs if needed. Mainly run protools and do some video.
You won't regret it. I have the same one. Been using it for a month and a half. The only problem was with the high end models, having the screen glitch where lines would pop up on the screen, but that has been fixed with the current update!
@@LaidBackFellow
Thanks
I haven’t had that issue with the lines on the screen but this I9 10 core is a Beast!! I’m running big protools sessions with lots of tracks and plug ins and it’s not even touching the cpu load and I average about 12 gigs of Ram use in the heft of the session. It’s awesome and extremely quiet!
96 degrees is not "very good". It's going to reduce the machine's life by quite a bit - not to mention that in time, dust goes in and then performance goes right out the window. I think the best combo might be the i7 with the 5700XT - still trying to research this.
i9 with an eGPU. Using an external graphics card redistributed a ton of heat out of the iMac.
"Averages 4.2 - 4.3ghz" spoken while pointing to the screen which clearly says average 4.04 max 4.1 8:55
Commentary seems a little off, no?
Please redo your tests with more ram installed - Preferably 32GB. The i9 should give you close to 10000 in Geekbench and the i7 close to 9000.
Watch Max Tech. That channel is more thorough when it comes to Apple's products.
@@jinraigami3349 I agree these tests were poorly done.
why do you have all those old out of date processors in the list with this new chip? wouldn't it make more sense to see an AMD 3900X and 9900K etc than a Ryzen 7 1700x from 3 generations ago?
LMAO I knew you were an idiot! Those are the standard benchmarked processors on Cinebench R20, he didn't put them there. Have you even opened it up once? You got a lot of nerve to call me out in that other thread. Apologize.
Happy this is working now... I tried to watch earlier on my break and couldn’t :’(
I got just under 60000 for the Geekbench compute score for the 16G 5700XT on the 2020 iMac so a sizeable performance gain ticking that box.
I ordered my 27 inch, i9 imac, 1TB, with 5700XT 16gb graphic card. can’t wait to install 128gb Ram... This should work well with our new S1H 4K 422 10bit files. I’m praying for no more having to create proxies...
Did that work out well?(im particularly referring to the 5700XT graphics since I got mine the same but with the i7)
I’m going to use 4:2:2 10 bit 4K videos too so I hope everything is going to be ok
See that your tests work at rated speeds no thermal issues other than higher than I like put my move to max fan speed at 95C, and like to keep it down around 80C. Thing is if you use something like "TG Pro" to help keep temperatures down with the side effect of maybe more fan noise. Do lower temperatures help with performance on your tests?
Uhm, u should add some ram to test it out, the geek bench score will increase, especially multi cores. i don’t think too much people just use 8 gb. I saw the best multi score can reach to 9000. I’m here to watch throttling result 👍
The i9 will reach close to 10000 and the i7 will get close to 9000 if you spec it with at least 16GB, preferably 32GB.
wow, that's scary how thermally challenged they are... my geekbench 5 score throttles that (no pun intended) on my 17" LAPTOP with *eight* core 10980HK. Crazy! Proper performance from the 10 core intel should put multi over 9000.
Why would you hinder your own tests by limited ram......when you say you can do it yourself?
Did anyone else mention the graphical glitches during your review? I’m surprised you couldn’t see them onscreen, they were happening quite a lot.
Would be an option for me if they didn't take away the Target Display Mode. I have a work MacBook and since I am working from home now, it's important I can connect the work laptop to the external display. Sad no more TDM.
TDM is definitely a really nice feature. Unfortunately, it has been gone since the 2014 5K.
Beauregard Slim I think they worried about ppl just buying a basic config and using it as a monitor, hahaha
I would recommend learning how to use manual focus on your camera. Autofocus is frequently hunting for focus due to your hands pointing to things on the screen. It can occasionally be hard to watch.
8Gb's??? It's 2020. I don't understand...
Thanks so much for that...Just got mine and it's spec'd up to the max...Thermals was something that I was worried about tho...
Hello! About to make this purchase. How is it working now, 2 months later? Thermals running hot?
Hi! Does it work fine? is there alot of noise? i'm considering speccing up everything to the fullest, but i'm worried about the fan noise. Is there alot of noise?
@@livelovelivelovelive No not at all...No problems at all as far as that's concerned. Even tho it's spec'd up to the max it's still not the fastest some times though...
@@alexanderdahl3545 Fan noise I don't really notice at all...
My 12 core Ryzen 9 3900x never gets above 75 degrees with all 12 cores at 4.4ghz even during the most stressing benchmarks. And it smokes this machine in bench marks for 1/4th the price
The thermal design of these iMac are terrible. I use computers in ambient temperatures of over 30°C. All these tests on youtube are done in airconditioned environments. I wish they were done in room temperatures over 30°C.
I have told someone to use Macs Fan Control on his IMac 10 core top of the line and use the program at the Sensor Settings and it will keep cooler and maybe last longer.
ahhh... hand is making your camera refocus!
Yes. Distracting.
No throttling but still very low performance compared for the parts it uses, so somewhere there must be a power or thermal penalty.
As usual the imac is running the cpu at a pretty high temp, it is hard to say with complete confidence that the thermal performance is good without testing both the cpu and gpu at the same time as they both share the same cooling system, lets see a 10 core with the 5700 xt all running a benchmark at same time before claiming how good the thermals are.
Single core performance is a bit disappointing 😢
Really nice but I do not need it. I am more into mobility. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for video - I'm about to buy i9 set but I don't know how this unit performs at idle? Please can you get me some advice? Thanks a lot!
@appleinsider What is the monitor you are using next to the iMac? The one in the background
Do you think this would be a problem for the 10th gen i7 model as well ?
this is awesome news! I'm so tempted after seeing the great thermal performance of this gen. But, I have a hungering for a Ryzen 3900X dual boot hackintosh with windows setup for gaming and an ultra widescreen display which Apple hasn't given us in an iMac. I gotta go down that road and see where it leads. :). I would love to see you dual boot into Windows and game on this iMac and give us a report on that...that's my other option.
I was thinking exactly the same. I was worried though about updates for MacOS but having a 12core with the same specs for a 1000£ less and ultra wide monitor were really tempting. But then I saw videos about current technology not able to process H.265 codec and that it is being done through T2 chip on my MacBook Pro and I realised I will not be able to process my H.265 footage if I go hackintosh. This IMac though has a T2 chip and the 5700xt is actually NAVI tech based so.... I guess the decision is made.
@@petrthingsilike8487 A work friend has done exactly that as he waits for Apple Silicone, built an 8-core 10700 + 5600 XT dual boot. The install experience was surprisingly smooth and after a bit of standard tweaking to USB mapping, has got what appears to be a very stable machine. I got to play a bit and here's what I found:
I haven't tried h265 so can't speak to that, but Final Cut operates very smoothly with 4K footage (e.g., GoPro etc) as well as high bit-rate 1080p from the Blackmagic Pocket Camera. That said, so does my top-spec late 2012 iMac (I'm not a heavy video guy!). What I can say, and what I find super interesting about this video and others, is the 10 core iMac may not really be worth it compared to the "standard" model's 8-core 10700.
This is based on other iMac benchmarks I've seen and from my friends machine. For example, the Geekbench single core on my friends machine is 1240, multi-core 9745(!). Cinibench clocked in at 4871. Critically, during these heavy CPU tests the big old CPU cooler never lets the CPU get over 60 C.
Of course along with the cooler temps is the fact the custom rig is basically silent. That said, (and this appears to affect everything except the Mac Pro Navi's at the moment), the GPU compute performance is apparently hugely crippled right now. The Geekbench Metal CPU test on the custom rig is a paltry 38000. On Windows the same GPU should be over 70k. This is apparently caused by bad power management for the newer chips, and it shows. I can't say it's been a huge problem for "normal" work, but it's gotta affect it in some way. Curiously, this driver issues doesn't seem to affect game engines as much. Unigine Heaven averages around 100fps on the custom rig.
Anyway lol, I think in conclusion the i9 in the new iMac is indeed thermally and power constrained, leading to more fan than you may like and simply, quite a bit less performance than what's possible. I think a much smarter play is the 8 core + 5700 / 5700 XT, provided Apple can square up the driver issues.
Matthew Grdinic thank you so much for such a detailed answer! The 10 core has a sense for some - for instance if I am using Blender for 3D animations and counting physics. The software is CPU based in these tasks, not GPU. It uses GPU only for rendering. If anybody uses it only for photoshop or video, 8 core is pretty much ideal and really sufficient. You are right about the noise, the fans will be running like crazy comparing to the custom build with water cooling. But that noise is something I can live with. As long as it doesn’t throttle. Basically it stands and falls for me on the ability to decode H.265 which only the T.2 can handle nicely right now. The fact about crippled GPU performance is really interesting. Haven’t seen a review to mention that yet. So basically only the 5700xt is performing fully on these iMacs right now?
@@petrthingsilike8487 Hey no problem! So regarding Blender, so interesting you mention that, had also fired it up and was a bit disappointing to see Cycles is CPU only at this point -- however, not sure if you've ever tried it, but AMD's (free) Pro Render worked flawlessly and quite fast with the 5600 XT. I'd say the same as what Cycles + CUDA on my GTX 1070 PC does.
That said, I ran a quick bench of the BWM-27 scene and came in at 2:16. From what I can see on: www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i7-10700k/6.html that's pretty darn good, within spitting distance of a unrestrained 10900. That 10700 really pulls its weight.
Real quick on the GPU performance -- the first mention I saw was Max Tech's 10-Core review a few days ago, and then further backed up with what I saw on the custom machine. And I should be clear, the only place the 5700 XT seems to running at full speed (in Geekbench anyway!) was on the Mac Pro, not iMac. Sorry for no source on that, though possibly Max Tech again.
Either way these new machines are beautiful, I guess bottom line you literally can't go wrong with this crop :)
Matthew Grdinic that is awesome info. Yeah, under MacOS it is only CPU because MacOS doesn’t support OpenCL anymore and Blender doesn’t support Metal yet. So - bootcamp - and then You can use open CL from AmD card, so I bought eGPU and 5700xt and got the BMW benchmark in around 1:40. But because I do video it was still a lot, so I swapped for RTX2080 super and got it down around 30-40secs I think. Now for a single image that is not much of a difference, but try to do a scene with fog, glass etc and the gap widens up tremendously. Multiply it by 25 frames a second and you just lowered 2 days of render into one afternoon. So MacBook Pro 2018, eGPU And external 4K monitor and you are good to go. But - there is lots of drawbacks. Switching between win and MacOS is dreadful because I have to redo the setup every time because Mac will not recognise the Nvidia card, also every time I try to connect something else into any other ports, the Mac will collapse because the EGPU takes all the lanes. Now I am not massive Blender user, just started learning during quarantine, but I do lots of videos. I think the new IMac will give me the ideal compromise for my workflow. The better processor and 5700 will do reasonably well in Blender if needed, switching between win and MacOS will be without hassle, T2 chip for h.265 and I will have nice 5K monitor with my T3 4K ultra wide monitor. I think it will be good setup but new experience might prove me otherwise.
If you bought a Canon R5 and a iMac 10-core i9 2020....Overheat universe
10-cor i9 white 8GB RAM and 5500XT 🤦🏽
So, to answer the question posed in the title, NO, there is no thermal problem that you have been able to detect.
Thus far, correct. We tried to offer more in this video than just an answer to the thermal question. But the thermal question is the number one thing we've been asked since we got our original machine. So it is what we wanted to answer out of the gate for the 10-core model. So we dive into that as well as all of our benchmarks as well.
AppleInsider - True enough. The more interesting question that Inthink most of us had about this machine was whether any of the thermal management lessons learned from the iMac Pro had been applied to the design. A simple tear down say that is sadly not the case.
8 gigabytes ram = meh
Running cinebench while using a screen recorder = meh
Why would you bench a machine while using up background processes.
Not using manual focus on your camera for whatever reason and many parts being out of focus = wha?
This isn't a very good representation of anything I am afraid.
38000 graphics score isn’t great...
yay for fixing the video!
Right? What kind of annoying export bug was that!
Ok so this chip uses less power than the pro, but the pro's cooling simply would have made it way better.
I have the iMac 5K 2019 i5, I love the performance of the computer EXCEPT for the Fusion Drive, but I want to replace it when my guarantee period expires
Fusion drives were a failure... I have more than five Fusion drives in various Macs replaced with SSD after failing...
Geo Man yeah I only bought it because I need boot camp and in Mexico is so expensive to buy a iMac 5k with 1 tb of SSD
@@joseabraham777 Here i could place a custom order for iMacs with a third-party SSD installed (Crucial for example) and avoid the high prices of Apple components. But now that Apple solders the SSD on board...
Geo Man wow, the new iMacs have the SSD soldiered????
@@joseabraham777 Yes... And that means that replacing them requires replacing the entire logic board! A nice trick from Apple to get more money from their customers...
Weaker coolers have it at 5ghz all core. Apple only gets what again?
According to Intel, the Tjunction for that chip is 100C. Sure, that's hot compared to some ordinary desktop processors that cap at 65C or whatever but as long as it is made to run that hot, why be concerned?

hello, No Caption ? I am deaf. I can ask to you. iMac 2020 has any problem with heat.
He said no it doesn’t have any heat issue.
Don't do the over the shoulder shot
Hi, Can you help me selecting between 2020 4k high upgrade model vs 2020's 5k entry level imac.. I'm a Cinematographer and editor, and I'm buying iMac so that I can take big projects and work on them in future. where I'll use softwares like Adobe suit, garage band and FCP. I'm planning to take 8k footages as well in future (may be after 1-2years). Do let me know. I can upgrade it later in a year or two.
In this decision the main thing will be the codec. If you are using H.265 like I do with my Fuji cameras, you need the new 2020 IMac because it has T.2 chip. If you are using any other codecs whether it’s from BM or RED etc. check what works best for you for the money. Personally I am going to sell my MacBook Pro and eGPU and buy the new iMac almost full specs. About 4K £.
@@petrthingsilike8487 I'm planning to buy 5k model. Later I'll upgrade.
Why are you testing with 8GB ram only? This was really a dumb test!!!
Unimpressive Geekbench 5 multicore score. I think this thing is very thermally challenged.
@@Evian457 Aha. How much RAM were AI using? I didn't know GB5 was very RAM intensive.
Its not a thermal problem, its a watt problem/intel problem. Real benchmarks using AVX and all-core turbo is the real test. But having 5 ghz on 10 cores needs at least 200 watts something Apple does not deliver. This is the problem in today's market. The same hardware from different vendors has different performance because of wattage/C states. It's not thermal. Thermal throttling starts at 100 degrees celsius on desktop Intel. (And my tests: Razor 8 core laptop: Real all core turbo is 3.5ghz, not 4+ ghz that Intel says. Macbook pro 2017 all-core turbo is 2-2.5ghz. And yes: I have tried different logic boards. RiMac skylake/kabylake 4.2-4.4 all core turbo the last honest Intel. The skylake core is not designed to be over 4 cores so putting 10 cores in more>/less TDP is just false marketing. Short benchmarks are worthless since the Cstate/wattage/throttling does not impact + using AVX puts a lot more stress on the CPU. And I don't even address that Intel only has 20 plus 4 PCI lanes. 16 to grafic and 4 for PCI express NVme + 4 for the fake PCI lanes on the motherboard. You hit bandwidth limit just using a second fast SSD. Intel is a joke today,
Apple is purposely letting the macbooks (and I reckon the Imacs as well) run hot so that when they switch to apple silicon, they run that much cooler. After I tore down a macbook pro, I found the their "custom designed" plate that transfers heat from the cpu to the heatpipes/fans wasnt making sufficient contact due to pegs that were purposely put there by apple to prevent the contact from happening, a quick trip to the milling machine to get rid of these pegs brought thermals down 30C.
Apple is so lazy 😂 using the same shit cooling solution for so long... exactly why I switched to windows. I can get almost half the temperature of the mac just by adding a decent cooler

AF was never fixed with the GH5. Still sucks
💥 Prediction 💥 Prediction 💥 Prediction 💥
1. No Optional Macs :- After when the ARM Macs will come, there will not be That "Customize your Mac" option available. Coz instead of Assembling Each parts, they're gonna use SoC like mobile devices with will be sorted Pre-Built. So (Like iPhone & iPad) there'll probably the 256+8/512+16 & 1TB+32G configuration available direct to Buy
2. No Upgrade :- Even though Developer Kit supoorts Expandable RAM slot, future Mac Destops (Not the Mac Pro Now) won't support Any Upgrade. Even the Current Mini is just and CPU upgrade, we will soon see a Refresh with More Compact form factor
3. Not Anything "Pro" :- Most Popular 3 macbooks separate themselves with Thunderbolt port, Generation of processors & integrated GPU. But as the ARM will have the same generation to all & no GPU, So there'll be just The Basic Screen Size Difference. (Or, Suttle Changes which won't make smaller macbooks Less powerful - Like 11Pro & Max)
4. No Macbook Air :- Name of the Macbooks will probably changed, The Air will may be called simply Macbook (12") & the Remaining two (14" & 16", no 1299&1799 option) will be the Pro Macbooos with just the screen, Camera & Speaker difference
5. RIP Hackintosh :- as the MacOS depends on the hardware (for same we cant make Hackintosh on Unsupported Hardware), after the transition period will over, & the last Intel mac stop supporting the Upcoming Version, then the Hackintosh will also gonna die due to lack of CPU Support.
❤️
If you think apple will stop cashing in on upsells you are crazy. :D
An equivalent PC with AMD Ryzen 3700x and 5700xt would cost around 1200-1300 dollars. But Apple sheep gonna be just that .. simple minded sheep who wouldn't mind blindly following their Apple overlords
...and includes a 27" 5k display with 500 nits, truetone, thunderbolt 3 ports, a 5700xt with 16gb memory and integrated in the same unibody form factor? Some people talk alot of nonsense...
Can you link to that PC?
Martin Baumann precisely, equivalent one AMD 12 core would come down to 3000£, but would be capped on 5700xt with 8GB. Try to get thunderbolt and 5K monitor and you are way over 4 grand. The only plus to custom build will be the thermals, but massive downside for me no T.2 chip which is crucial right now for anybody who works with H.265 codec.
@@martinbaumann9304 As an (amateur) number cruncher running big batch jobs on matlab, python and R and playing games on the side, what on earth am I going to do with an ultra crisp 5k monitor ? That is strictly only ever most necessarily for those working with graphics.
Thunderbolt ports ? I don't have a need for them. They are appreciated yes but amongst the general prosumer place it isn't that common the usage of Thunderbolt.
And I spew nonsense ? Even if I switch to a RTX 2070 Super the total cost will still be around 1400 (1700 with a fast refresh rate monitor) and that will still run circles any day of the week over even the top of line iMac
@@petrthingsilike8487 Again, you act like most people would die for the 5k screen. Not strictly. Lol. Don't think other people fashion their preferences along the same lines as you Apple sheep.
A Mac that almost nobody will buy
Really? Why is that? If you think nobody will buy because of the upcoming Apple Silicon iMac, you simply don't understand how so many people rely on x86 ONLY compatibility and how apple silicon is a complete no-go for many of us. AS means no windows support by either dual boot or VM. It means no running VM's for software development. It means IF someone comes out with a virtualization solution for Windows and other OS's it will be dirt slow because of emulation. It means no premium title gaming on Mac for many years to come. AS is not as rosy of a future as you think....but if you don't need x86 based support then have at it I'm sure many will love the next gen. For people like me I'm staying x86 for a few years, I already lived through Apple doing this transition twice and both times it was a **** show for years.
@@BrianLampright913 no, I mean because of the ridiculous price. People's habits are changing. TH-camrs only focus on speced out models that most viewers can't afford. I myself got a base model iMac 2020 and will upgrade the ram
Rodolpho's Tech channel valid point :) I would choose the i7 over the i9 and save some $$$
I bought it!! It will be here next week!
At 9:00 you can see significant thermal throttling, dropping the clock speed to like 4.3ghz yet you say there's no thermal problems? What kind of joker reviewer are you?
??? What are you talking about? This is a 3.6GHz processor that is able to maintain a speed of 4.3GHz. That is huge. EVERY machine thermal throttles. Otherwise processors would just go up exponentially. Heat and power are in part what constrain them. So it is supposed to throttle down, but it is only an issue if the heat causes the processors to drop down below the advertised speed while under stress. That is the point you know the machine isn't cooled and causing it to underperform. If you stuck a 5GHz 12-Core processor in here and it overheated to the point it was only able to run at 3GHz, that would be a thermal throttling issue. Fortunately, this machine doesn't have that problem.
No it does not thermal throttle. Thermal throttling means the CPU runs below base clock, which it does not.
@@AppleInsider every machine does not thermal throttle. For example my 9900k will stay at 4.7ghz allcore indefinitely as long as it does not reach 100c. When it does reach 100c it downclocks a few hundred megahertz, just like yours. This is called thermal throttling and it's not supposed to happen if you have a good cooler. The chip slowing down because it's too hot is the definition of thermal throttling so it's really disingenuous to say this machine doesn't TT when your video proves it does.
PS: my 9900k has 2 less cores yet achieves similar cinebench scores. All thanks to a good cooler preventing TT
There are two things here that are different. There is a thermal throttling ISSUE and there is thermal throttling. Like I said -- every machine thermal throttles.
What we are talking about here is whether or not it is an issue and if it is excessively throttling the machine below what it should due to poor design.
The Thermal Design Point (TDP) is defined by Intel as the "average power the processor dissipates when operating at base frequency with all cores active under a high-complexity workload." That is a long way of saying it advises how hot a processor can get when running at its rated speed. It is also a measure of what, at a bare minimum, any given manufacturer has to, at a minimum, implement for a cooling system.
When a processor is cool, it is capable of exceeding its standard clock speed to the Turbo Boost speeds Apple and Intel advertise. This, of course, generates more heat above and beyond the TDP, and causes it to slow down back to an equilibrium state where it is generating as much heat as the chassis can dissipate.
If the heat is too great, the chip will drop below the normal operating speed - the speed Apple advertises for the machines - in order to prevent damage and cool down further. This is what you should think of when they think of thermal throttling and not the dip below the so-called "turbo" speeds, which every computer with a turbo speed has always had to do.
Here, the processor is rated at a clock speed of 3.6GHz. Under a high-complexity workflow it is able to maintain a speed of 4.3GHz. It is not excessively throttled below its rated speed. Hence, there is NOT an issue with thermal throttling on this machine.
@@CheezWhiz360 wow you have no idea what you are talking about.
I follow your channel and like your videos but I think you were trying to rush to get this video out and be first against the other channels but unfortunately has too many things that are missing, starting from small graphics that are not visible from mobiles, I think this days is very easy to capture the computer screen, using a top end chip with just 8gb. I think this days whit so many people doing good reviews, this sort of details can make a huge difference. Good luck!!!!
