Intel’s 11th Gen Core Tiger Lake SoC Detailed

If I build a new computer to replace my Ivy Bridge hackintosh, the only thing that would keep me on Intel at this point is the desire to build one last hackintosh before Apple goes full ARM. At the middle level, say Ryzen 3700X vs i7-9700, they're pretty close.

I would absolutely love to do this but AMD is somewhat annoying when running MacOS.

1. Really bad VM support. No Hypervisor framwork, which means problems with Docker (apparently some workarounds for Docker specifically, but not 100% stable). Things like Parallels Desktop, Android VMs, etc won't work.

2. Problems with Adobe suite apps crashing on boot. Some patches exist but last I checked there was nothing for Lightroom (which I use a lot).

3. Things like iMessage, Facetime, Siri, etc won't work

4. Uses a custom kernel and there can be hassles related to power management.

etc.

My use case would have lots of problems, but it's definitely a great option for people who don't need VMs or Adobe.

iMessage works in my experience, not sure where you heard that.

depending on your workload you will have some troubles with an amd hackintosh (e.g. logic plugins)
