Hey all.

Macbook pro 32gb i9

Been running almost constant handbrake encoding since I got the machine it it usually ran around or just above base clock on the CPU, all day and night.

CPU temps were high 90s

Since the recent update, its starts normally, it boosts, then runs at clock, but after a while the PKG and Frequency drop, and after hours even further. In the middle of long encode now and I'm lucky if it runs at 2.10 PKG 25 -30 Utilisation 99% Temp now only 75. A lot of the time it is running even under Frequency 2.0

This is way way under base clock.

I did a reset between encodes and got the same issue :/

Activity Monitor is CPU around 1000% for handbrake and nothing else running.

Is anyone with the new update able to check with their MacBook Pro and run a long handbrake encode whether they have the same issue?
