'High Power Mode' coming to 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Max, Apple confirms
It probably doesn't boost performance. It probably just cranks the fans so that it doesn't have to thermally slow down.

How the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Max replaced our Mac Pro
Even though the new 2021 MacBook Pro uses WiFi 6, its connection is still slower than my old 2015 MacBook Pro (WiFi 5/802.11ac). The 2021 MBP doesn't use the full complement of antennas, so it can't utilize the full bandwidth of WiFi 6. Option-clicking the WiFi icon on the menu bar will confirm that the max transmission rate of the new 2021 is 1200 Mb/s, and the older 2015 is 1300 Mb/s. Going to WiFi 6E will help if you have a corresponding base station (less traffic at 6 GHz), but I'm not sure if overall speed will increase unless Apple adds more antennas.
