max speed
Fastest possible rate
Max speed is the highest velocity something can achieve—a vehicle's upper limit, a computer's processing ceiling, or a person's fastest pace.
In gaming and tech contexts, it often describes optimal performance: The car hits max speed on straightaways, running the processor at max speed.
Sometimes shortened to just max.
