There have been numerous reports that the newly released MacBook Pros run hot. They run so hot, in fact, that the powerful 8th Gen Intel Core processors inside them are throttled down to below their base speed. Apple has officially acknowledged that thermal throttling is a real issue caused by a bug, and is providing a software update designed to address it. Apple claims that they discovered the issue after further testing in the wake of YouTube video. The bug affects every size of the 2018 MacBook Pro and all Intel processor configurations. Apple is releasing the software fix later today.
