MacBook Pro, Mac Mini with M4 Pro support High Power mode on macOS: report

Apple’s recently launched MacBook Pro (2024) and Mac Mini (2024) feature the company’s new M4 chip series, and the computers went on sale in India and global markets on Friday. The company’s latest laptop and desktop computer supports “High Power Mode” designed to improve performance while using video editing and 3D applications on macOS, according to details shared in ArsTechnica’s review of the M4 Mac Mini. The feature was previously supported on select MacBook Pro models equipped with the company’s higher-end chips.

ArsTechnica’s review of the Mac Mini (2024) with an M4 Pro chip confirms that High Power Mode on macOS is available on the compact desktop computer. When enabled, the feature provides a marginal improvement in performance while increasing the speed of the fans on the device, the release said.

According to Apple support page for the ‘High Power Mode’ feature, users with specific Apple Silicon Mac computers can access the feature. It is designed to provide enhanced performance for demanding workflows, such as 8K ProRes 4444 color correction and 8K DNxHR video.

High Power Mode is currently supported on the MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3 Max, 2023) and MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Max), while the 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M2 Max and M3 Max chips also contain function. It appears that Apple hasn’t updated the support page for this feature since March, and the latest MacBook Pro and Mac Mini have yet to be listed as compatible models.

macOS also offers one “Low Power Mode” that does exactly what the name suggests: it causes the Mac to reduce its power consumption to extend battery life. This feature is available on most Mac computers, unlike High Performance mode. This comes at the cost of slower performance, but can be useful if you use a MacBook on the go.
