I have the 16” MacBook Pro. It doesn’t throttle and will happily run at max boost for tens of minutes.



Mine doesn't throttle when the ambient temperature is below 21°C, but throttles almost immediately if the ambient temperature is above 24°C.


The MBP16 has a problem with overheating VRMs during prolonged high load. A hack with thermal pads helps:

Which one? I have the i9 flavor and it sounds like it's taking off if I run a video conf with zoom or Microsoft teams.


Throttling refers to throttling down. Choking up. Going up is boosting.


mine throttles to 30% within a minute of ffmpeg
