So when I upgraded to a new Mac, I had to contact the developer to have him “clear the license” for a new install.Turbo Boost Switcher is a little application for Mac computers that allows to enable and/or disable the Turbo Boost feature. The ONLY bad thing about TurboBoost Switcher is that the license is tied to the hardware. TurboBoost Switcher makes turning it off permanently easy for anyone, plus allows you to turn it on quickly if you really need, and keep an eye on temperature, etc. This app solves all the problems with Turbo Boost on the Mac. Heaven forbid I wanted to watch a video… fans come on. Open a document in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, the fans come on. But the main thing for me was that the fans on my 2017 MBP 15" and 2019 MBP 16" would constantly come on… no matter what apps I was using. I see no difference in day-to-day use having Turbo Boost turned on–but the computer would get hot, and the battery drained a lot faster when I had it on. I’m a graphic designer by trade, working in mostly Adobe apps all day (I don’t do video, though).

While he hasn’t performed battery life tests on the 16-inch MacBook Pro, he estimates 30–50% longer battery life on older models. Anecdotally, he says that the fans do not spin up, and the MacBook Pro runs cool enough to keep on his lap. What benefits does turning off Turbo Boost offer for MacBooks?

(There’s also a free Turbo Boost Switcher that requires more manual interaction but would likely be sufficient for testing.) Such a feature has already been available for iOS since iOS 9, and Arment has found a way to implement something similar with the $9.95 Turbo Boost Switcher Pro, which prevents Intel’s Turbo Boost feature from automatically overclocking the processor for intensive tasks. Sparked by rumors of a performance-enhancing Pro Mode for the Mac, developer and podcaster Marco Arment is calling on Apple to introduce a Low Power Mode for Mac laptops.
