model”High efficiency“It’s a feature available on the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Max, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1, M2, or M3 Max, and now the Mac mini with the M4 Pro chip.
Andrew Cunningham mentioned technical art explained that so far, this model has been limited to Macs with top-tier “Max” chips, but now it also applies to Mac minis with “Pro” chips.
By default, your Mac is set to automatic mode to balance power consumption and performance. High Performance mode (accessible from System Settings) allows the fan to run at a higher speed. The additional cooling capacity enables the system to deliver higher performance when running intensive workloads.
Apple explains that “High Performance” mode is useful for improving the performance of graphics-intensive workflows, such as 8K ProRes 4444 color grading and 8K DNxHR video. According to Apple, you’ll get smoother playback and faster export when High Performance Mode is active, even when using video editing and 3D apps.
In his Ars Technica review of the Mac mini, Cunningham reports that simple tests using High Performance mode didn’t show significant gains, but that after several hours of intensive activity, those gains may be more noticeable. What is certain is that by activating this mode, the fan is activated and the element ensures air recirculation, keeping the internal components at an optimal temperature, allowing the components to cool and expel hot air, providing the performance required to “withstand”. and other components.
Here are the Mac mini models that come pre-configured with the M4 and M4 Pro, or can be purchased on Amazon in installments without interest.
