30-bit color support with Intel UHD Graphics 630 chip of Mac mini 2018?

Does the Intel UHD graphics 630 chip of the Mac mini 2018 support 30-bit color (ARGB2101010) over DisplayPort via the ThunderBolt 3 port?

Another name for "30-bit display" is "10-bit color per channel display" or "deep color" or billion colors.

I have an Eizo CG277 monitor that supports 30-bit display (https://www.eizoglobal.com/products/coloredge/cg277/index.html)

but I cannot use this feature since my MacbookAir6,2 only supports 24-Bit Color (ARGB8888)

The only information that Apple provides is the following: "Thunderbolt 3 digital video output supports Native DisplayPort output over USB-C"

source: Mac mini - Technical Specifications - Apple

I would like to know whether the Intel Graphics UHD 630 on the Mac mini 2018 supports deep color with a 10-bit display IPS panel or whether I need an eGPU?

I intend to buy the Mac mini 2018 with the Intel "Core i7" (8700B) six-core processor, 32 GB ram and the 2TB ssd.

I need to verify this information before I make the decision to buy.

MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), Considering Mac Mini 2018, i7, 32Gb

Mac mini 2018 here (3 GHz Intel Core i5 – 32 GB RAM) with EIZO CG245W connected via Thunderbolt – Display Port cable.

It does support 10 bit color. Here are screenshots of system Report and Photoshop’s Performance Preferences.
