I just picked a MBP with the following specs:
2.5 GHz (2860)
AR screen
8 GB Ram (Kingston 1600)
So I was running a torture test on the MBP in windows (prime95), and then I noticed something maybe could be common in MBPs. First it started out fine running at 2.5 GHz, then it kept on throttling down to 2.0 GHz on all four cores. Then after awhile it was fine again and went back to 2.5 GHz.
Granted I nearly hit ~99C on the cores according to HWiNFO64 so it could be the SMC kicking in.
