I would love to see how GX8 fares against E-M10 II, which probably has the lowest high ISO noise among m43 cameras.

I'm curious what data and observations you base the statement regarding the high ISO noise of the EM10 II on?

Yes, the dpreview E-M10II review said the high ISO is special:

Which they later recanted and attributed to testing error.

Thanks for the info. Can you provide the link?

Can't give you a direct link but I believe the entire section of the review that you quoted in your linked post was eventually deleted or re-edited once they realized their error, at least I didn't see any mention of it in the conclusion. If you look in the comments section there's also this post by Rishi (one of the editors) in response to someone asking about this precisely:

" Yes, we discovered it was most likely due to shutter speed inaccuracies. When we reshot the daylight studio scene with a 6-stop ND filter (to force slower shutter speeds), the performance fell to that of the E-M5 II, which makes far more sense.

Additionally, the low-light scene shows no increase in performance relative to other micro four-thirds cameras.

We suspect that faster shutter speeds were actually longer in duration than they should've been, which essentially meant the camera was getting more light than it should have at higher shutter speeds.

I've just updated the review with this information. Sorry for the confusion. "
