when a manufacturer knows that there may be a problem, they should do anything to avoid - not placing antennas and ports next to each other. apparently we see this situation quite differently - i blame apples design choices, they could have put antennas far away from ports, not next to them.
same thing with the heat problems in current macbooks - insufficient cooling solution.
Place a heavy sustained load on the current MBP, the CPU frequency will roll back near instantly, apart from not having the power to supply the i9 (or i7 for that matter) it certainly is not capable of cooling the CPU, with the base i7 2.2GHz literally snapping at it's heels.
Vega has helped the equation some, as it runs cooler, however push both CPU and GPU even moderately and your going to push the cooling solution. With 9th Gen 8 core mobile CPU's in the pipeline it's time for Apple to step up, or give it up as it will just be even more embarrassing why Apple cant design a performant reliable notebook in 2019. Maybe Apple should just switch to ARM and stop ********ting every one.
For the asking price of the high end MBP I demand reliability and I expect it to perform, not to dial down the clocks, due to Apple not being capable of designing an adequate cooling solution. Apple simply shot itself in the foot with the current design. Current chassis being only capable of cooling the 7th Gen Quad core CPU's adequately, with Apple too arrogant or too cheap to change it, now we have Hex core and upcoming Octa core CPU's. Members with more open minds have already illustrated the limits of the current chassis, it is, what it is...
What I see is the vast majority of professionals want reliability & performance from their hardware with a sensible balance of portability, what they don't want is overly compromised hardware that impacts reliability, adds complication to the workflow and cant hardily perform any better than base systems.
Mac's have always run hot and these are no different, the same issues will apply as they are just consumer grade electronics. You want to run reliably at sustained high temperatures and or significant Delta you need higher specified components; Industrial or Mil Spec. Personally I wouldn't be worried about the CPU core temp, more the sounding components and powertrain which is likely to fail far soon from the effects of thermal shock.
I've certified & qualified numerous platforms for high temperature operations (150C/175C) that are subjected to significant shock amplitude at the same time, you can be assured they have a lot more going on than a consumer notebook...
