Hey! Until right now, I never thought to disable turbo boost to make my MBP 16 run cooler or have better battery life. Now that you said it, using Turbo Booster Pro seems a no-brainer for 99% of my daily usage. Thank you!
My question is - is there a similar app that lets me disable the AMD GPU? Again 99% of my work does not require the discrete GPU's power. Disabling it should help run the laptop cooler and enable longer battery life.

This is a pretty popular GPU switching program for Macs with discrete GPUs: https://github.com/CodySchrank/gSwitch
Hey, a new option - thanks, must try it :)
To my delight - it works!
Sadly not! There used to be, gfxcardstatus on older macs could force integrated but the only choice now is to force discrete.
