So.... I wasn't expecting the Geekbench scores to change this much, but after doing the 8GB -> 16GB upgrade on my i5 2018 mini, I was surprised by the results.
With 8GB: 5170 (single core) 20172 (multi-core)
With 16GB: 5315 (single core) 21792 (multi-core).
I'm not saying you'd notice that difference in general use, but that multi-core score is near 10% improvement.
And given I've read performance improvements driving a 5K display with 16GB over the 8GB, I wonder if this gives the GPU more breathing room, too?
