I really want to see what happens with prolonged CPU and GPU processing at the same time. How bad will it throttle?
We are not Windows/PC fanbois. We are actually longtime Apple users that are tired of the Apple way overpriced non-innovation products.
WHo wants a machine that is disposable since everything is soldered into the Logic board and both RAM and internal SSD are NOT upgradable?
Apparently not you, so move along to the machine that fits your desires. There’s plenty out there.
Impressive. Let’s wait to see the internal temps in these wonder machines. No need to fry eggs on your MBP.
Nope they won't fry eggs, they'll just throttle down so as to not ruffle any feathers of the little chickadee users.

Pretty dank score right here too.....32GB ram on the i7.

My PC cost £2000 (i9 9990k & 980ti) and the OpenCL score was over 120,000
are you here just to ego-stroke your own e-peen? did you lose out your e-peen scores on pc forums to people with TR2900s and 9900ks and RTX2080TIs so you decided to flash out your junk here?
Indeed - these are the reasons why Apple seems to lose more and more of its marketshare. Coz buyers are fed up with products crippled (and ridiculously overpriced beyond reason) for one single cause: Greed
Great products otherwise, just held back by Apple management's moronic decisions

But that touch bar! Ahhhhhhhh, i can't get over the touch bar! I just hate it. Sorry : /
Yes, that thing is pretty... superfluous. Not exactly a dealbreaker, but I'd prefer to not have it too
Do you expect apple to replace your iPhone X with an Xs because you bought the X a month before Xs release?
Gotta know what youre buying and commit to it
Workstation cards are not designed for gaming but that doesn’t mean that they don’t perform really well with games. Now, historically some workstation cards have had mediocre gaming benchmarks but that was more common over a decade ago.
Dave2D is a very trusted source and very reliable source for anything Apple related and the new video he just posted makes me sold on this machine.
Why bother with the OpenCL benchmark? Isn't the Metal benchmark all that matters now that Apple has deprecated OpenCL along with leaving it outdated and otherwise waging war against it?

Well that's not in a laptop. I'm sure there exist non-Apple laptops that top the score with a lower price tag, but there's no point in comparing your desktop to this.My PC cost £2000 (i9 9990k & 980ti) and the OpenCL score was over 120,000

Everyone who buys the MacBook Pro does. And I can't think of a time I've needed (or wanted) to mess with the internals of my _laptop_.

Is a new MBP not capable of playing those games? I play games on my Mac and never have such problems. Sure there are probably games I can't play, but I haven't encountered them, nor have most people (if you look at the top-played games out there).

I wouldn't expect the RAM or the CPU to affect the OpenCL score.
[doublepost=1542847404][/doublepost]
And the ****ty keyboard. I've been using that garbage for 1.5 months now, and my typing speed is still half because the keys are spaced seemingly with the intention of causing multiple to be pressed at once by mistake. 0/10 would not recommend the new MBP, which is why I bought the 2015 one for personal use a couple of years ago.

PREMIERE PRO DOESN'T USE GPU ON EXPORT
All of these 'reviews' using Premiere Pro are complete bollocks.
[doublepost=1542853292][/doublepost]
Again, PP doesn't use GPU to export. THAT is why it's not mentioned on Apple website.
Then his temperature reading is totally useless. He's checking the chassis temp (??? not even the exhaust vent???); not showing CPU/GPU utilisation graphs; not showing CPU/GPU temps; and making the false assumption that the GPU is pinned during the test.
4/10 review. Highly misleading.
You think Daves videos are highly misleading? I couldn't disagree further. I understand your stance with your post but Dave is a highly respectable figure on YouTube with 1.8 million subscribers and generally knows what he is discussing especially in regards to Apple products and various other computers. Dave was the original YouTuber to discuss the i9 "Throttlegate" with the infamous "put the laptop in the freezer" for faster render times as well as even benchmarked the heck out of that machine in one of his videos so to call his work misleading is definitely off the deep end.
