Apple brings High Power Mode to MacBook Pro and Mac Mini models

Apple is expanding the High Power Mode on the 14-inch MacBook Pro, 16-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini models along with the M4 Pro chip, according to a credible reporter, Ars Technica's Andrew Cunningham. 

The feature was previously constrained to Macs with Apple's highest-end "Max" chip, so it will be the first time that the Cupertino-based tech giant has integrated a “Pro” chip on Macs.

Furthermore, this feature was only limited to 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M1 Max and M2 Max chips in the beginning, but Apple has incorporated it on both the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Max chip by the end of 2023.

Currently, Apple is expanding this feature on more MacBook Pro models, and on the high-end Mac mini and the company has called it for "sustained" workloads.

Apple said that the High Power Mode enhances the cooling system of Mac to deliver high-geared performance and more.

Cunningham said that High Power Mode Performance gains were  "essentially negligible" instead of "considerably increased" fan noise.
