Testing thermal throttling and performance in the 2018 i7 Mac mini
mr minsky said:Great article - thanks. Did you (or will you) get a chance to check out the TB3 ports (bandwidth constraints, which ports go to which controller, why only 1x 5K monitor and not 2 since there are supposedly 2 controllers ...)?
So it’s as well-designed for TB3 as the 15” MacBook Pro’s are. Good news! -

There are some details on the intel ARK site for the i7-8700.

2018 Mac mini more repairable than 2014 model with socketed RAM and design choices

FYI, over on the eGPU.io forum new Mac Mini owners have been gathering evidence that it does have two TB3 controllers, on separate x4 CPU links. They seem pretty happy.
