Does anyone know of a way to determine the exact TB3 controller model used in the 2019 iMac (e.g. through the terminal)?

I'd just like to check that the 2019 iMac is using the newest Titan Ridge TB3 controller (which may possibly support DisplayPort 1.4 in the future) rather than the old Alpine Ridge controller used in the 2017 iMac
 
Perhaps someone can interpret this posting - which lists both Alpine Ridge and Titan Ridge controllers?

Strangely, in IORegistryExplorer, I can only find the 8086:15ea device:

Looks like it has Titan Ridge, but it is weird that the reddit poster found references to Alpine Ridge as well
He also finds strange references to Xeon:

So can the iMac 2019 output HBR3 link rate since it's using Titan Ridge and has a Radeon Pro 580X?
