    Boot Camp is casing kernel_task to overclock CPU

    I have a late-2016 MBP (w/ Touch Bar/Retina). Since the last update (to 10.15.5) every time I boot back into macOS from being in Windows 10, kernel_task starts overclocking the CPU. It will run up to near 500%. Regardless of what time of day it is, if I boot into Windows, then back into macOS...

    I am planning to update my CPU on my Mac Pro 5.1 2010. After searching a bit, I found that the highest CPU I can get is the dual 6-core Xeon 3.46GHz. Now I wonder if this one I found here can be used straight away without de-lidding? I've checked and some people say that Mac Pros version 5.1...

    I have an 2015 MacBook Air 13 inch (A1466) and I decided to put new thermal paste on my heatsink and CPU. Since I have owned this computer for three years.

    iPad Pro Ipad A14X CPU model coming this year?

    Hi people, I'm very interested in purchasing an IPP 12.9 as an additional tool for my Design and Illustration job. I'm not on a big urge for it and since I found out that the recent A12z is just a slight improvement from the A12x from almost 2 years ago, I wonder whether it'd be best to wait...

    What GPU will work for the new ARM CPUs?

    So far we've seen spectacular performances by the GPUs on iPads and iPhones. Those few graphic cores integrated on Apple APUs work great and reach easily 120 fps in games with Metal on pretty decent resolutions (the iPad), albeit dealing with a "stripped down" version of a PC game. However...

    Hi everyone, I've reviewed the compatibility list, but want to check.... can I upgrade a single-CPU Mid-2010 Mac Pro 5,1 with a Nehalem Xeon W3565 to a single Westmere X5690? And if so, is that the best CPU I can use in this single-CPU situation (w/o upgrading the backplane)?

    I wonder what the differences are between the i5 and the i7 CPU in the new macbook air. 1.1ghz with 3.5ghz boost Vs 1.2 with 3.8ghz boost. Are those numbers the only difference? Or does the i7 have more threads or other benefits? Other question: What is the model number on the Iris Plus...
