As a heads up, you won't get quite as much performance when using bootcamp on the MBP. The undervolt and whatever other tweaks they made for the 2019 variants doesn't carry over to Windows. You will definitely run into thermal throttling while booted into Windows.
Got a tip for us?

I figured. But after some research I also found out Thinkpad p52’s have their own thermal issues as well.
If I remember correctly, there is a CPU clock tools you can use to set the frequency. Simply use that and set to the comfortable zone it shouldn't have much of issue.
did it show up earlier than they initially said it would?
i have a similar configuration (except 512GB) slated for Jun27 arrival (10days).. i’m wondering how accurate that timeframe is.. thx

hey wait.. i do CAD (and CAM and rendering) and strictly MacOS... so there’s that option too ;-)
(but yeah, the software choices are limited for this type of work when compared to Windows.. but certainly doable if you get lucky and have all your requirements covered by Mac based software.. me personally—> Rhino, Grasshopper, and Fusion360 allow me to do all i need)
was watching you tube today and got beach ball several times today, is that because of the 8gb ram? or what could it be? if so perhaps I have need the 16 ram after all... of the more fully loaded i7, 13" - pls. advise.... also had multiple email windows open but nothing I would consider laborious...
Keep Activity Monitor open. I minimize it and show CPU history. Next time this happens you can check the memory tab and look at the pressure chart. Green means all is cool in the memory department.
well the status just switched to ‘Shipping to Store’ and my card was charged.. so maybe i will be getting it earlier than they initially said..

these are my stats from Geekbench for my 8gb, 512 version 2019
Pretty much as expected -

Just picked up my 2019 MB Pro and very satisfied with my Cinebench R20 Score
Very nice!
I found out what gave me this temperatures... It happened after installing Bit Defender on my Mac. Have removed it and I have totally different temperatures.
Anybody else running iStat menus on an 8 core finding that it only shows you temps of cores 1-6?
Anybody who's familiar with the 2018 model that can give their impression of the 2019 keyboard?
I have a 2019 and a 2018 that belongs to my wife. I haven't compared side by side but I need to do some stuff on it and can later to post my impressions.
@MacRS4 commented on it here -
yes I notice it as well and wondering if it will be updated to show all 8 cores.
Good set of tools ! I use Rhino + Fusion 360 too, although I must admit the windows version are quicker on the same machine in bootcamp...... I prefer Autocad on the Mac too over the windows version. Note - bootcamp on the iMac Pro, I have no expereince on the 2019 MBP and any current throttling issues in bootcamp [but my old 2014 mbp used to die in bootcamp !]
I was just looking at this machine closed on a table. It is so pretty. And the way it performs? Come on. It’s an incredible machine. Perfect balance of form and function. Even making it fatter and heavier for more cooling... i dunno. And this from a guy who bought a G5 Quad... I just love it.

And now this rumor of a new 16" one in September. It is interesting to me, Ill admit. And, I am really happy with this machine. So we'll see what happens! Im really excited that Apple seems to be getting back to a Mac line up thats hot and fast and evolving. The benefit is that we get competitive hardware, the drawback is you don't get to have the latest hottest machine as long as you did before. I think the latter is fools gold (which Id happily trade) from the perspective of wanting a healthy platform.
I'm also blown away by how good this machine is. After the endless disappointment that was my 2018 MBP 15, this machine is bliss.
Completely agree. I ended up returning both the 2017 and 2018 15" MBPs, but I am officially past the return period for my 2019 15" and ended up selling my Dell XPS 15 - 9570 that I bought last year when I was annoyed with and ended up returning the 2018 15".
I FINALLY have a good upgrade from my 13" 2013 MBP and can enjoy MacOS on my mobile machine again since my 13" is now set up as my always on Plex Server.
Edit: The irony is that within the last month I went from a Windows laptop and an iPhone to a MacOS laptop and a Pixel mobile device, ha.
