Review on 16" Apple MacBook Pro 16 Late 2019 3072x1920, Intel Core i7 2.6 GHz, RAM 16 GB, DDR4, SSD 512 GB, AMD Radeon Pro 5300M, macOS, RU, MVVJ2RU/A, space gray by Mateusz Sowa ᠌

Playtime is a need sometimes. Some games, such as World of Tanks, are unplayable on MacOS because the screen is a jumble of pixels. When running Windows, bootcamp significantly slows down performance. At low temperatures, both the central processing unit and graphics processing unit throttle too much. When the laptop's internal temperature exceeds 70 degrees, the GPU frequency drops substantially before settling at about 67 degrees on average. While in this mode, the GPU frequency reduces from the typical 1200 to 500 megahertz when placed on a flat table (that is, without interference with the cooling system). It's not just me; this is a huge issue. In addition, users report that after upgrading to Catalina from the MBP15 bootcamp, they exhibit similar patterns of behavior. In this mode, the GPU uses around 30 watts of electricity, compared to the usual 50 watts. And this is with the processor's power manually capped at 10 watts via intel XTU (to ease the strain on the cooling system). Although this laptop is not intended for gaming, its performance in bootcamp's working programs is terrible. Furthermore, this is really an artificial restriction. When running MacOS, the laptop's processor may reach temperatures of 100 degrees and use more than 50 watts of power, so there's really no reason to cap the temperature at 67 degrees. That is, the video card's power management has been improperly implemented. Infuriatingly, despite only requiring 30 watts to operate, the GPU only operates at half the speed it should, at 500 MHz. Performance is 2.5 times lower than claimed, thus if you need excellent performance on Windows, you should not buy this laptop. Maybe things will get better with ates, but I wouldn't put money on it. The bootcamp environment also prevents the use of touchpad movements. On a white background, I can notice that the illumination isn't perfectly even, but only if I look very attentively.
