While the Windows and Linux versions of the app remain, the download link for the macOS version is no longer active. Now, the Intel Power Gadget 3.5.2 tool that everyone has been using to monitor clock speeds in real-time on the MacBook Pro has mysteriously vanished from Intel's website. Apple Insider then later confirmed those findings with its own testing.
YouTuber Dave Lee first brought attention to the problem earlier this week when he discovered that while under the load the MacBook Pro with Core i9 option reported clock speeds as low as 2.2GHz instead of its base clock of 2.9GHz. However, a new controversy is brewing over processor throttling on the new 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro with the Core i9 ( Coffee Lake) processor option. In recent months, Apple came under fire for its failure-prone keyboards on MacBook/MacBook Pro models, but that backlash was somewhat mitigated by a third-generation design that largely cures the problem. It seems as though controversy is destined to stay with Apple these days.
