Seems equally likely that the iGPU is being misread or the CPU model is. Seems slightly less likely that MacOS is reporting its own hardware incorrectly.
Got a tip for us?

I am actually talking with apple about this, there is another thread and somebody has the 2.9 and it shows the HD 530.
Can you run the compute benchmark for the integrated graphics in geekbench?

That is seriously weird. i am going to do some more research
EDIT: upon further research, there seems to be a problem with the reported igpu, the performance that it is putting out is in line with the HD 530 that is supposed to be in the machine, rather than the Iris pro 580 that it is reporting

Unfortunately I can't find any geekbench results for another Iris 580 to compare
can you do a compute benchmark for both the igpu and dgpu?

I'd like to see some comparisons to other folks with same or other CPUs for this laptop. That way we are comparing Apples to Apples, as it were.
Mine is reporting a bit faster at 18766. Not significant though I don't know how much difference there *should* be in OpenCL between a 580 and a 530
Yeah must be just a random bug
Anyone want to buy a limited edition MacBook Pro with a 580, 530, and 460?
Man, that CPU is pretty disappointing. This is my 2012 rMBP: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/1046265
More than 4 years later, and the CPU is not even 10% faster?
I got mine today & agree with all of tour observations. The first time running on battery with the screen at 1/2 brightness surfing the web gives me only 5 hrs run time :-(

My 2.9 claims to be running the HD 530.

Blame intel for concentrating on prioritizing power efficiency and better graphics capability over Ghz.
About a week on and I'm still pretty happy with it. I will admit the touch pad gets in the way sometimes but not often. I'm noticing a weird thing where somehow I'm triggering a "mute" while typing and not sure how thats happening. I tend to use delete a lot when I typo, so maybe I'm brushing the touchbar by accident.
Battery life has settled in to be around 8-10 hours of normal use, so right in line with expectations. The fans don't seem to be as loud (or come on as often) as my 2015 MBP for what its worth. Very smooth performance when hooked up to my 3440x1440 monitor but of course thats using the 460.
My previous statement about the iGPU being misreported only when plugged in is incorrect. I'm on battery right now and its showing a 580 and not the 460. I'm sure that'll be fixed with a software patch soon

What is your "normal usage" (apps used on a regular basis etc.) and what are your Mac settings ?
