I’ve got one of these as well, and it’s great at running Linux, but it’s SOOO much slower than my 6-core MBP.
Compiling any project that takes longer than 30 seconds kicks the fans into high gear, throttles the cpu, and leaves it nearly unusable until it’s finished.
maybe this anti-throttling script[1] should help. I'm able to run at max CPU clock frequency at 85-90+ deg temps without throttling when doing CPU intense stuff (t480s, not carbon, but should work on carbon).

I've had this installed and running since day 1.
that's impossible. If it were that that much faster, it'd have to weigh twice as much and the CPU would probably have double the TDP! :)
