    "The new MacBook Pro now behaves as expected, but there are still limitations."

    "In our post-firmware test, a 3.5GHz clock speed was maintained even when all cores were fully utilized for an extended period of time. This was definitely the performance that Apple promised when announcing the new MacBook Pro lineup, and we're glad to see that the firmware update has made it a reality.

    Things get muddier when the GPU is also fully taxed, though. At that point, the CPU is throttled to as low as 2GHz. However, performance is consistent, which is essential for 3D modeling and many other workflows that were hampered by the wild fluctuations we saw before the update."
