Such as this one, depicting the system's Core-i9 CPU throttling all the way down to 800MHz in a Prime95 test. However, more reports from various 2018 MBPr users are surfacing that back up Dave Lee's claims. Maybe the CPU is defective or this is simply a malfunctioning unit that isn't cooling as it's designed to.

You're arguing that this is just an isolated incident. While Premiere Pro isn't necessarily optimized for MacOS, that is a considerable difference. Then again, a similar Windows system - Gigabyte's Aero 15x laptop - renders the file in just over 7 minutes. Both graphics cards and CPUs will scale back performance after heating a certain temperature to reduce heat and prevent damage. The MacBook Pro has a very thin unibody chassis, and it likely can't offer adequate cooling and heat dissipation to support a 6-core beast like Intel's 8950HK. To be clear this is not a knock against Intel but rather against Apple's thermal solution.
