Strange that he got below 1k Cinebench score even on first run. His numbers are very much the same as before today's fix from Apple.

Looks fixed to me. He got above 1k scores even after running multiple times in a row.
So I just did some comparisons in After Effects and thanks to another posters help I compared it to the mid-tier model and it just seems, at least for my workflow in AE, the i9 is not worth the extra $400 bucks. I think I've also realized I don't need the 32GB of RAM for my work and the 1TB SSD is probably never going to get filled because I store most things on my NAS. So all in all Im thinking I'm going to return this model for the 2.6GHz i7, Mid-tier.
It is too early to decide on the RAM. If you plan on keeping it for maybe 5 years like I do then I am confident 32 GB will really help.
I personally am going to run a 12 GB Windows 10 VM for gaming and college programs (ChemDraw Suite and few other similar softwares).

I would get the ram upgrade if you see your workflows evolving. You’re probably fine at the moment but I wouldn't feel comfortable spending that amount of money and more or less being at the memory limits. FWIW I run multiple VM and containers locally and it was a no brainer. What I had/have a difficult time deciding is cpu, since I already need upgraded storage more question on 2.2 vs 2.6. Still undecided even knowing I won’t ever push gpu.

That's quite an improvement but the Aero 15x seems to walk all over them!Impressive!
You bet it did. Thanks for starting this thread.There is nothing wrong with canceling an order and keeping an eye on the scene before making a final decision. It is not like they were cheaper the other day and now more expensive.
Who knows, maybe this pushed Apple to release a fix fast. All a business cares about is money.
Impressive!
So people I have a question ?? the 2.6GHz i7 processor 15" 2018 rMBP was not reporter of any throttling now with release of the new Bug Fix that Aple has released in what ways will it help improve performance on this particular model ? because there was no problem of throttling with this model right ? So how would this Apple Bug Fix released help other models which have not been reported for throttling ??
My read of this : Apple fixed the elephant in the room - throttling in all 2018 models - great.All models had a throttling problem.

However, the i9 may never reach its full potential in this case and thermal design. Stay tuned, more benchmarks are coming.
My best bang for the money configuration remains i7 6core 2.6GHz 32Gb 1TB. Guards against obsolescence (since they are all fundamentally un-upgradeable) + enough headroom for the chip to perform (and turbo-boost) correctly.
