As the product name sounds, Choetech USB-C Dual 5W Wireless Charging Pad is a dual 5W wireless charging pad powered by USB-C.

It is two wireless chargers put together and powered by a single USB-C port. The charging pad measures 220 x 90 x 14 (mm) and weighs 150 g.

Mophie Wireless Charging Base is one of two Apple endorsed wireless chargers that can fast charge your iPhone 8/8 Plus/X at 7.5W.

Having benchmark third-party aka non-Apple endorsed wireless chargers, I can confirm that those does not fast charge your iPhones at 7.5W.
