I think I'm overall disappointed in the 2018 Macbook Pro i9

So I bought the new iMac with an i5 processor and 8gb of RAM in order to take the workload off of my 2018 Macbook Pro with the i9 and 32gb of RAM.

I figured divide the work up?

Turns out this iMac with a 6 core i5 completely outperforms my Macbook Pro with an i9 and 32gb of RAM.

I ran Novabench and I feel like I got ripped off financially on the Macbook Pro... are they STILL throttling the i9s and not telling us?

the i9 of the macbook is also 6 cores. Taking into account that the macbook has a notebook processor and the desktop imac, that there are 2 generations of difference and they have the same number of cores, that score does not seem bad to me.

Yea. I can agree with that. I launched Ccleaner and get the spinning wheel for a moment. SOMETHING is bottlenecked.
