I run my computer with the "more space" scaling setting. It lowers the score. When I lower it to the default setting I get 575. I've also found that content blockers lower the score further.

Its a stunning piece of kit and I even like the touch bar think its really cool. Love the way you can use it and it adapts in so many different programs.
Anyone sitting on the fence don't jump off into a purchase.

That’s not even funny, yesterday the photo zoom barefeast test was showing 2.2 as the slowest by a large margin, now it is the fastest. Magic.

Clickbait is a wonderful thing. You don't have to be factual. Just monetise eyeballs with manipulated data sets and fake news. If you get caught just say 'Something something no comment'
Moral of the story : Don't trust any of these so called reviewers and testers. You have 14 days return policy. Test the machines yourself against your previous models or workflow.

Nah. Rob-Art is one of the fair ones. I bet there is a good reason.
Someone said in another thread that the photo tasks do get acceleration from the GPU and the 2.2 is the only one with the 555X. So not a total Apples to apples test.
The reason has been explained. His article is shockingly bad.
Anyone who has been testing Macs that long should be able to quickly state that rendering CG or video on any of the machines will see similar performance because the clock speed across all cores will be similar and constrained by the thermal design of thin and light form factors. The language used on Barefeats's article is bizarre.
Anyone doing image resizing and editing will see an improvement that scales with the turbo boost....providing the test is done properly and the tester doesn't randomly edit their results after two days to drive more traffic to their website.
You can test this for yourself instead of relying on others. This forum is remarkably slow brained. Sorry to be rude. But ANY of you can post Automator or Photoshop actions to democratically test the machines together instead of relying on impractical or depraciated benchmark apps, skewed results, clickbait hungry YouTubers.
Looks to me like that's probably as bad as it gets. Your CPU temperature seems to have reached an equilibrium value, so it's probably going to hold at that 2.9 GHz indefinitely.
What's your ambient temperature?
Aaah! How can you LIVE in that HEAT????
Oh, right. Fahrenheit. ~23˚C. If that's hot where you live, seems like all is good. If not, it won't be so good on a hot summer's day, but not much you can do about it.
On High Sierra yes the sound bug does come and go. I’ll let sound run all night tonight to see if Mojave has fixed it.
