MBP2018 15" 2.2GHz or 2.6GHz?

Hello, I am considering 15" with 16/32GB, 1TB SSD. Which of these i7 CPU (2.2 vs. 2.6) is able to run at least at base frequency, at turbo boost able to maintain higher speed than the other even under thermal throttling, have quieter fan and less heat at the bottom?

2.2

I’ve just ordered the 2.2. It seems to be the best option.

2.2 / 32

Which iteration is recomended for an engineer with a photography fetish who is using Bootcamp, Solidworks, MATLAB Lightroom, Photoshop?

I was leaning towards the i9, until I read of its degree of throttling.

Perhaps again the base with maybe 32GB, although 16GB should be very good too.

I was hoping someone would mention I would in fact be ok with the base 2.2 and 16GB RAM. However I was worried since I will be running Bootcamp and rendering on SolidWorks.

Perhaps waiting out a few weeks to see what comes on this i9 issue is also worth considering.

2.2/32/1tb seems to be the best combo IMO.

The rMBP 2014 with 16GB I used could handle all these without problems.
[doublepost=1532034321][/doublepost]Is it true that even with thermal throttling and non-Nvidia GPU, any of the MBP2018 still performs better than the rMBP 2014 with Nvidia GPU?

2.2 ghz less heat,also choose the 555x,less heat

Has it been confirmed that the 2.2 i7 runs better or noticeably cooler than the 2.6 i7?

We're pretty early on in things TBH. It's mostly ancedotal.

2.2 or 2017 models.

From what I've read and watched, it seems that the only way the i9 will work effectively is if Apple do away with the silent computer thing they have going on. All other high performance laptops have huge bodies and fast, noisey fans. It's either that or Apple need to redesign the body from the round up fo better ventilation and cooling.

You also have to remember that a lot of programs have not yet been upated and optimised for 6 cores, so every demo you've seen on YouTube where thermal throttling occurs COULD purely be down to the programme not making use of the cores properly causing them to overheat and exeed the thermal limit. Just my opinion but we'll have to wait and see I guess.
