Grilling on an Intel i9 Processor

Posted on February 24, 2024February 24, 2024 by Michael Hodges

I’m not sure who made this (or the song name used in it, which Shazam can’t seem to identify) but it’s both hilarious and cool! My old MacBook Pro and iMac both had an i9 processor, and the MBP’s fans would always be on, sounding like a jet engine. The iMac was a reliable furnace…
