![]() Is Apple silicon ready for Turbo Boost Switcher, Rosetta 2. I long for the day that arm/Axx arrives on mac, and we can get rid of this intel mess. Allows users to enable and/or disable the Turbo Boost feature. The i9 seems to have crazy turboboost properties, and it is indeed interesting if the crappy thermals of turboboost, makes the cost/benefit obviously negative for long running (multi-core) tasks… With turboboost you will see things be done 10-20% faster, however the (thermal) “cost” is imho not worth it - ymmv obviously, and this is only my experience/opinion (on a 2015 i7 macbook pro)… In my experience, cpu will go to 100C under full load with turboboost (fans going full off, everything running hot), and it will stay on 80C under full load without turboboost(fans pretty much at normal). Imho turboboost is great for “normal” users, and great for quickly run benchmark numbers - for us devs (or pro users) that pushes the machine and all cores over longer periods of time, it’s thermal properties are really really bad, and counterproductive on any laptop with it’s limited cooling, and the user preference for the fans not going off at full speed over a simple compile or what not. (you can use to monitor clockspeed/thermals and see how your normal workflow goes with/without turboboost) I can not recommend turboboost switcher enough, and disable turboboost on your macbook I would not mess with the fan controls, the underlying issue lies with turboboost, that by it’s very nature is not really within the thermal envelope of the cpu itself, and much less of any (laptop) cooling solution… The program lies within System Tools, more precisely System Optimization. Our built-in antivirus scanned this Mac download and rated it as 100 safe. ![]() The latest installer occupies 2.4 MB on disk. Won’t completely fix Apple’s bad cooling design choices, but still, it’s something Download Turbo Boost Switcher 2.12 for Mac from our software library for free. This should give quite a few more seconds at turbo boost processor clock speeds. ![]() Good news, if you need sustained load performance you can tweak the fan behaviour using an app called Macs Fan Control. Turbo Boost Switcher is a free app, with a paid Pro version, which lets you monitor your MacBooks temperature and fan speed, and enable/disable Turbo Boost as required. ![]()
