How the author turned off speedstep on a macbook?

I assume he's using MacOS because of the Safari benchmark.

He does talk about the laptop he uses at the end of the post.

>All tests were performed on a 2015 MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. For all tests the best of three runs was selected for the result.

But how do you disable CPU throttling on an intel macbook to do accurate benchmarks?

I didn't. I believe that is's better to run a few times and take the best run. I payed for the turbo mode CPU and I'd like to know the performance on my machine. There's a lot going on my machine, and even more when a browser is running. The only thing (besides running on a clean machine) one can do about it is to measure multiple runs. Three runs are maybe a bit to little for scientific results, but I considered them good enough for a casual benchmark.

Those charts show 300 runs of Java n-body #3.
