Comments
Sadly, my new setup still lags behind my desktop build from 5 years ago, so at this point it's probably safe to say that the cpu is not the bottleneck here, but the Thunderbolt 3 architecture itself.

@rhino666, Yes, sadly the Thunderbolt 3 do not have the full bandwidth as intel say, even the M2 NVme X4 is better.
