One leaker has spotted a ton of references to AMD APU and GPUs, in what may be the first hint of an AMD-powered MacBook Pro being in development. Evidence of AMD-powered Apple hardware appears in. This guide will show you the steps to install Sierra on a AMD Ryzen PC using a VMWare Virtual Machine. I’m making this guide for those who don’t have access to a Mac and need macOS to either try out for a bit or create a macOS boot loader installer for a AMD hackintosh build. There is another VMWare Sierra guide on this site, but with AMD system a modified VMWare image is required to even. Processer:AMD A10-5745M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 2.10 GHz RAM: 6 GB (5.19 GB usable) x64 bit processor and a 64 bit operating system. I am using the latest version of virtual box (6.1.6) and the corresponding extension pack. Thanks for your help. Through the looking glass: AMD delivered a splendid battery of processors and graphics hardware throughout 2019 and seemingly Apple’s been taking notice. Last year the pair delivered the Mac Pro.
Why vanilla?
It's clean
Mac Os For Amd Apu Version
The AMD distros are designed to be ran on various different hardware combinations, while a vanilla install is made for your specific hardware. This means that your install will only have what it needs and no extra useless junk.
Tailor made for your hardware
A vanilla install doesn't have any unneeded kexts or modifications which could cause issues.
More instructive
Making your own install teaches you a lot more about how hackintoshing works which in turn makes it easier for you to troubleshoot any potential issues.
The good, the bad and the ugly:
What works
Mac Os For Amd Apu Drivers
- AMD Ryzen CPUs
- Native USB
- Native Audio
- The latest version of macOS High Sierra
- iCloud
So much works, that it is easier to say what doesn't so here we go:
Mac Os For Amd Processor
- AMD FX CPUs (I don't have one to use for testing)
- Internal Graphics. Be it an AMD Ax CPU or one of the G Ryzen chips, the GPU will not work.
- Lower GPU performance, more specifically:
- About 10% lower on AMD GPUs
About 75% lower on Nvidia GPUs- I have been told that this is not the case. Performance varies a lot per model, but it is safe to assume it is a lot lower than on Windows.
- IOMMU
- iMessage, FaceTime
- Siri
