Curious - If the M2 Max Macbook Pro has a "High Power Mode" - why doesn't the M2 Max Mac Studio?

There are times when I'd like to go one higher... To turn it up to 11.

But it only runs at 3.5GHz compared to the MBP 3.7GHz in "High Power Mode"

Binned chips?

From all I’ve seen yes. I’m not sure it’s actually the “high power” mode increasing the single core clock, but rather just a property of the 38 GPU version of the M1 Max.

Ah, it's only on the 38 core GPU version? For some reason I thought it was on all Max chips if they were in a device that supported it (such as the Mac Studio or the 16"), but if it's just the 38 GPU core version, it'll be a very expensive upgrade for an extra 200mhz.

I Wouldn’t trust a thing by LTT , with there Bias against Apple and there recently proven incorrect numbers, as well as Sexual assault accusations, I wouldn’t trust them as far as i could throw them

What a shocker that was from GamersNexus. I'd been a long time LTT watcher and spent an hour or so watching that recent revelation. :/ That was so disappointing. I have almost never unsubscribed on Youtube...

I don’t know about that. He doesn’t look that big and I imagine ( if I needed to) you could throw him 5’ easily and if the situational geometry was right (he was running at me, down an incline) perhaps 12’ to 15’. And I don’t think I would trust him much further than just 1 or 2 feet away, definitely would not trust him 3’ away
