APPLE RESPONDS

2018-07-28
Dave Lee youtuber Dave Lee's review of the i9 based MacBook Pro he said it was throttling our pal Dave 2d just published the video where he shows that there is really no benefit in buying these new computers intrepid youtuber David Lee has found that the chloride macbook performs worse than the core i7 version so there was one video in particular for mr. Dave 2d is the great friend even better human being and there was so much truth in that video so many things I agree with but the Oprah how come that video I think was a little skewed here you are there you are ladies and gentlemen Dave 2d so how we gonna do this you're doing an interview all right so listen if you've been off the internet or you know nothing about tech then you may have missed mr. Dave 2ds big video let's giant enormous game-changing video in which he uncovered some interesting details regarding the new 2018 specifically core I nine MacBook Pro now I did a video I unbox my new core 9 it seems that he was dead set on making me less exciting less in love with his new hardware because he had his own trajectory there he's like thermal throttling I'm cooking scrambled eggs on my laptop now he says I didn't intend to get a new kitchen appliance he said just hold on in your video you quoted me that's correct hot carpet I never called it hot garbage well yeah it was something along those lines he gets this super hot MacBook Pro and he sticks it into a freezer the internet was like it's a MacBook in a freezer they loved it okay big hit ok my original intent was not to make a hit piece or anything like that it was just like a straight objective look at the MacBook what we were seeing is this this throttling if you want to call it sure you now explain to the audience ok thermal throttling computers particularly laptops they want to run at a temperature that is tolerable a high temperature above that level the CPS is slowed down to make it cooler the more frequently that happens the worse the performance of that device so essentially what happens here in the case of the newest 2018 MacBook it gets hot in order to protect itself at a certain point it has to sort of slow down yes right this has been addressed at this point by Apple and they through software address some of this thermal throttling is that correct that's correct now to get to that stage I remember thinking that there was a chance that people would take this video poorly just to quickly explain why I think Dave's video was a little skewed is the main test to use was honestly the perfect recipe to completely cripple your computer when that video went live some people thought that that the new MacBook was not throttling and he just made me doubt my own work and I went home that night thinking people like Marquez from TLD they were like wait wait wait let's be clear yep you respect okay absolutely I read a headline that says Apple works with youtuber Dave 2d to fix every MacBook and save the world sure that's exactly what they all read that's not what they read there was a part of me that thought maybe they're trying to publicly disprove my work which would have been terrible and that's not what I'm not happening and the new MacBook Pro here did it in 21 minutes 21 seconds when I hit render it will be 15% fast but there was a part of me those like that maybe that's what they're trying to do so how specifically did you and Apple work together originally they wanted the whole project follow just it wouldn't too much work and too much effort to send them the whole thing those project balls are big I tell them like the compression format and then there was like a lot layer that you apply over your footer should give it a particular aesthetic really taxes that laptop heart with that lot and with the camera settings they were able to replicate a similar workflow to mine and I think that helped them figure out what was going on this point right now they've to be right now this core i9 chip as it is right now should it be in the current structure of the macro pre-loaded question man it is a very very thin device this is if I'm not mistaken the thinnest six core 15 inch laptop you can't put much more in here you're now sticking the world's fastest chip and you're gonna have limitations I think for some users that I 9 delivers something that weaker processors can build something extra so the answer question I think it does belong in here but I think the expectations of consumers can be a little bit skewed it's definitely not operating at its peak capacity within this framework it's obviously unusual for a company like Apple to reach out to someone like you that's not something you expect it to happen is it no I wouldn't say unusual you'd say as usual happens usually it may be unusual as the word I'm just saying that there is this narrative online there's at least a group of people applauding apples saying this is the way you do it that's some sort of a claim like your claim and rather than get defensive about it they get on from it too like let's get Dave to these phone numbers let's see if we can get to the bottom of it pull disclosure here whatever this software patches I have my my own skepticism brand-new laptop it's only affecting poor i9 it's like we're just gonna roll a little patch here five minutes later yeah get yourself a Big Mac and a coca-cola and and all of a sudden we're not having an issue but nonetheless they went about it in a path that at least myself I can't remember them doing it's a different Apple I think that there was pressure on them to make this to resolve it mm-hmm you've had this impact you saved everyone's MacBook Pros in the whole way hey let's let's be real here I didn't save anybody's MacBook I think that this is something that what it would have it eventually from someone and it would have just been you know it would have the same thing wouldn't happen if you were advising an individual which spec MacBook Pro is the value point easy it wouldn't even be the 15th maybe the 13 those quad cores make a huge difference on who's 13 I think for most people they don't need something big and it saves them a lot of money I think that like mid tier i7 is probably where the sweet spot is value point yeah anyway big shout out to Dave 2d for breaking down the story right from the horse's mouth he brought it to light I think Apple in this case should also be commended to a certain degree for taking this type of approach Apple took a step here we're gonna hit up a guy hosts videos on YouTube to help us get to the bottom of something we're not gonna hide it it's a little bit of a silver lining there it's good when you heard Apple was trying to get in touch with you were you a little bit scared at any point absolutely okay
