I wanted black, as close to hex #000000 as possible, but the reality is that it’s not possible to do that with anodized aluminum. When Apple unveiled Space Black during the Scary Fast event, my immediate reaction was, “Want.” But then upon seeing it in post-event videos and then up close in person, my enthusiasm waned a bit. It’s much darker than Space Gray, which is no longer available for the M3 Pro or M3 Max MacBook Pro. Space Black does appear lighter when a direct light is upon it and in photos. If you’re familiar with hexadecimal colors, then Space Black is a close match for hex #414a4c, which is often referred to as Outer Space. Space Black isn’t really black it’s a deep, dark gray. Here’s a list of the tests.ĭepending on the lighting in the space you’re in, the MacBook Pro’s Space Black finish appears lighter or darker. Most of these tests are available as M-Series native or Universal apps. The results of the benchmarks below are compared to MacBook Pros with M2 Pro and M1 Pro chips. The GPU is also capable of what Apple calls Dynamic Caching, where the GPU can optimize the amount of memory it is using. The M2 Max in Mac Studio has a very big thermal system to keep it cool.Īs in the 16-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro review, I ran several other graphics benchmarks to gauge the performance of the M3 Max, which now features hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading. However, the MacBook Pro’s cooling fans kicked in and were very active during these benchmarks, which meant that the performance was likely throttled to maintain a proper operating temperature. Still, the M3 Max (as well as the new macOS Sonoma Game Mode) helps improve performance. Rise of the Tomb Raider and Civilization VI are older games written for Intel and not optimized for Apple’s Metal graphics API.
