   MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has issued [1]MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update v1.1, which provides
   a fix for a 'rare issue' for slow frame rates while playing
   graphics-intensive games on the 15-inch model of the MacBook Pro with
   Retina display. The System Management Controller update also provides
   bug fixes for Power Nap and wake from sleep, as well as a fix for a fan
   control issue. While the latter isn't detailed in the release notes, it
   most likely addresses the overzealous fan spinning that's been
   discussed at great length on [2]Apple's support forums and noted at
   [3]Geek.com. After installing, the SMC will be updated to version
   2.3f35. (Free, 504 KB)
