Macs also thermal throttle a lot. Apple opts for quieter machines over exposing the entire raw power of the CPU like a lot of their competitors do.

In large part because Jobs had a pathological hatred for fans. The Apple II used to have problems with thermal buckling of the logic board because Jobs insisted on there being no fans. And the later Mac Cube ran into similar problems (never mind that oversensitive capacitive power switch).
