Review on 16" Notebook 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, MVVL2LL/A, silver, English layout by Mateusz Mazurkiewicz ᠌

Sometimes you want to play. Under MacOs, at least some games are not playable: in World of tanks, for example, the screen is a mess of pixels. Under Windows, performance is greatly reduced through bootcamp. The system throttles too much due to temperature, and at a low temperature of the CPU and GPU. The laptop drops the GPU frequency dramatically when it reaches 70 degrees, and stabilizes at an average of 67 degrees. At the same time, on a flat table (that is, without interference with the cooling system) in this mode, the GPU frequency drops from the standard 1200 to 500 megahertz. This problem is not only with me, it is massive. In addition, people write that under the MBP15 bootcamp, after upgrading to catalina, they behave similarly. The power consumption of the GPU in this mode is about 30 watts, with a standard 50 watts. And this is even with a manual limitation of the processor to ten watts via intel XTU (to reduce the load on the cooling system). Although this laptop is not for games, it will also behave in working applications for bootcamp, which, in my opinion, is unacceptable. And all this is a purely synthetic limitation, because. objectively, there is no need to limit the temperature to 67 degrees, because 80-85 and even 90 degrees are quite acceptable temperatures for this laptop (under MacOs, the processor warms up to 100 degrees and consumes more than 50 watts). That is, there is a crookedly implemented power management of the video card. Particularly annoying is that even at 30 watts of power consumption, the GPU should run at about 930 MHz, but it runs at 500 MHz. In general, if you need high performance on Windows, then you definitely do not need to buy this laptop (performance is 2.5 times lower than stated). Perhaps the situation will improve with ates, but I would not seriously count on it. Also, touchpad gestures do not work in the bootcamp. The backlight is slightly uneven, I see it on a white background, but this is if you look closely.
