Apple Says 2018 MacBook Pro Throttling is a Bug, Fix Available Now in New macOS Update

It kind of does. But there is no evidence to the contrary either, so why say it?
A software bug doesn't mean the whole product line is flawed or that Windows machines are a good alternative.

We'll see. Stuff happens and Apple responded...quickly. What more can you ask?How about we see how the update works out before being an armchair Engineering Lead.
In all seriousness, this should have never been in issue to begin with. C'mon Apple....
It’s certainly not a litmus that the product is good. Unless you believe Budweiser is the best beer and taco bell is the best mexican food and s ton of other examples.
In reality sales are a litmus of what lemmings flock to, not what is good.
Let’s then also not play down that this PR disaster could easily have been avoided with better testing and product development prior to launch.
Banana products that get shipped before being ready.
Oh my ....
9 Pages and not a single before and after or CINEBENCH score.

According to Apple, the throttling is unintentional. It was only meant to kick in 2-3 years down the line.
Your examples would only apply if Macs were low-cost products, which they are not. Instead, Windows still dominates in the computer market, so if there are “lemmings” as you so condescendingly put it, they are buying Windows-based computers, not Macs.
Can you read? Point out where I said lemmings were buying macs.
The comment I teplied to was that sales are a litmus test. What I stated, it’s only a litmus of what lemmings are buying, is very true and you made my point. If you belive macs are better than windows machines then you agree with me, not sure what you are upset about.
Many people buy stuff based on what others buy, the most ads they see, etc. I stand by the lemmings comment. I never said 100% of the people are lemmings.
Maybe you can point out the many areas where sales are a litmus of the best product and highest quality sans fanboyspeak and need to try and turn every post into an anti apple one.

has anybody in this thread actually tested it or are we just arguing over apple because none of us actually ownt he i9 laptop and we have nothing to do with our lives.
I don't "blindly" pledge allegiance to anything, anyone or any company. Stop pretending to know someone based on their comments on an online forum. What's crazy is that you put all this energy into pushing your particular stance or agenda. Whatever that is, I don't care. I am fully aware of how Geekbench results work. I was merely stating I am pleased with the performance of this machine. Unlike you, I don't have a motive other than supporting a company that I believe in.
? You tell someone to stop pretending to kow you yet end by pretending to know him.
These type of arguments can go on forever.
It's true that Geekbench wasn't affected by the throttling issue (each GB test lasts very short time) but thanks for posting results anyway in case newcomers missed it.
No, it kinda doesn't. Just because people buy a lot of something doesn't prove anything about its quality. Either that or McDonalds is one hell of a quality product.
geekbench, cinebench, prime 95
Run with fan, heat and cpu ghz level testing software
I'd like to know how hot it becomes under load when it's in geosynchronous orbit around Mars.
There are plenty of people who give that appearance. This was a legitimate concern raised by a number of people and there were a number of people who were blaming everyone but Apple for it (or denying it was an issue to begin with). It's shocking how so many people are so blindly loyal to a company which cares nothing about them.
This has all happened because of the failure to regularly deliver new workstations. It was short sighted.
I do not feel that Macs are better than some Windows machines. In some respects they're better and others they're worse. Depends on the criteria used to classify something as better or not.
