The new 16-inch M1 Max equipped MacBook Pro models have a new high-power mode. References to the mode have been discovered in the current version of macOS Monterey and do not apply to the 14-inch model.

140W - apparently.
> Apple M1 Max would already be giving competitors like Intel headaches -- knowing the chip has boost capabilities beyond what Apple has already revealed will help to ensure they have nightmares too.
My opinion -
The numbers they published about 14 inch M1 Max and 16 inch M1 Max already take into account the High Power Mode of the 16 inch version.
How do I know? If you assume that M1 Pro GPU performs identical in both 14 and 16 inch and look at the performance improvement over their old counterparts (numbers taken from Apple's website)
14 inch GPU
M1 Max - 13.4x Intel iGPU
M1 Pro - 9.2x Intel iGPU
Max over Pro - 13.4/9.2 = 1.46
16 inch GPU
M1 Max - 2.9x AMD dGPU
M1 Pro - 1.7x AMD dGPU
Max over Pro - 2.9/1.7 = 1.71
Assuming that M1 Pro's GPU perfomance is identical in both - M1 Max GPU is faster in 16 inch version.
1.71/1.46 = 1.17
So M1 Max 32 core GPU in 16 inch MBP is 17% faster compared to when its in 14 inch MBP.

Not necessarily! That could be more about thermal-throttling since the 14 inch MacBook is smaller making it more difficult to dissipate the heat.
