    Throttling Mid 2012 MacBook Pro 15” Unibody

    Hi there! I’ve scoured the internet for help on this issue but I haven’t turned up any actual solutions so I thought I’d ask here… I recently had to change the battery of my 2012 unibody 15” since the original one finally crapped itself, however the CPU is now locked to 1.4 GHz in macOS and 1.2...

    Samsung caught secretly throttling the OS - possibly for benchmark purposes...

    https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/03/samsung-caught-throttling-10000-phone-apps-and-its-own-home-screen/ I remember the anger here when Apple did this to help the battery.

    BEWARE! iOS 14.5.1 is Throttling!

When I start two benchmark (Heaven and Cinebench) simultaneously the CPU runs at the 1.6GHz only. I think that the minimal frequency should not be lower the 2.3GHz which...

    MacBook Pro: CPU throttling when battery reaches 39c

    Hey everyone, I discovered something on this hot July day! My late 2013 15" MacBook Pro throttles the CPU and makes the computer extremely slow (taking seconds just to register a mouse click) when the battery temperature reaches 39c. It does this by ramping up CPU usage of kernel_task, taking...

    MacBook Pro Late 2018 (Vega) CPU throttling down to 1.4Ghz. Why?

When releasing the October update with the Vega GPU, the thermal design improved. Two month ago, I got the MacBook Pro with the Vega 20 GPU and the...
