i7-8700 in the new mac mini? looking forward to the temps testing. Would be impressive if the tiny heatsink can keep up with even a stock intel cooler.

Dell and Lenovo have only dared to put 35W TDP CPU in their current micro desktops.
Apple however have used a 65W TDP processor (presumably). According to Intel's website the only two 8th Gen I7's with a base clock of 3.20Ghz are the i7-8700 and i7-8700B, both with a TDP of 65W.
Just like the newest iMac Pro they have (presumably) cheaped out on the cooling solution, causing the CPU to throttle when putting it under heavy load for more than 15 seconds.
Although the PC will be incredibly fast when performing small and quick tasks.

i personally own and use an i7-8700 and in a big atx case i was able to use the stock intel cooler without any throttling issues (with a full 6 core load, almost 80-100w tdp) . It would be mind blowing if this mac mini doesnt throttle under a rendering workload. But yes the single/dual core turbo speeds paired with nvme in the imac mini will be blazing fast
