I'm trying Quickemu today. It is supposed to allow you to run just about any OS you want to. There's no audio with Big Sur and Monterey but there is with High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina. You don't need a kit, either. This seems to be the new, easy way to virtualize Windows, macOS, tons of Linux distros.

iTerm2 - macOS Terminal Replacement
iTerm2 is a replacement for Terminal and the successor to iTerm
iterm2.com
thinking of running MacOS on Clover VM on my PC server that runs faster and has more ram than my Late Mac Mini 2014 that I plan to sell and use it mainly as iMessage Relay server to be able to pick up imessage on my PC laptop. Some caution against using your Apple ID with Hacintosh machine, any one can chime how risky is it? Could Apple suspend your account? Or is it some unfounded sensationalism? I plan to get later this year M2 Mac Mini.
I've done about 250 Hackintosh installations with my iCloud account and it's still alive and kicking.
I suppose that Apple could suspend your account but I suspect that they are happy to sell you iCloud services, even if you're not using their hardware. You can, after all, use iCloud services from a web browser.

I am encouraged by your success. I have an older and more modest Coffee Lake motherboard. I recently decided to update an old OpenCore config running Big Sur with the aim of taking it to Ventura. I am using 0.8.3 now and feel pretty good about how it is running. Along the way, I saw a nice performance boost with a change in setting to iMac19,1 from iMac18,3. I suppose it supports the processor better.
I still have some work to do on it. I think the sound kext is using the wrong layout-id and I don't have analog sound. I may have worked on this long ago but don't remember the details. Bluetooth works.
Also, I used to have a GUI bootpicker but now it is text based. It is OK but I feel I am missing something obvious to switch it back.

Try this EFI from my B560M-H Gigabyte Motherboard...
is OpenCore 0.8.4 and is working with Ventura 13.0 Beta 5.
You may need to change some kext's, but it's okay with CoffeeLake...
Ha! I tried OC 0.8.4 with Monterey and it fixed some beachballing I was having with Chrome upon wake. It maybe also is booting faster. I haven't tried it yet with Ventura. I didn't do much. I added a few lines that seemed to be missing in the config and copied over OC plus two driver files.
I think I now recall that if you get text bootpicker then your config needs work. I still need to configure sound kext to the correct layout-id. I did find some differences in your config to mine that I should research. Other than that, it is booting and sleeping well and I think it will install Ventura.
Thank you for sharing your work!
I was wondering if someone has that issue with B560M-H from Gigabyte USB Host Controller (USB 3.2 Type-A) 0x43ed.
I can't connect my devices at USB 3.0 Speed, only at USB 2.0 (480mb/s)... I already tried everything... Fresh install of Monterey 12.5, and fresh install of Ventura Beta 5, nothing seems to work at all. Tried USBInjectAll.kext with USBMap.kext USBToolBox.kext, SSDT-USBX.aml (Editing), Hackintool injection, rename SSDT (XHCI => XCI) and others renames and nothing works at all. Set type to USB3 (3) of all ports with Hackintool.
Please help.
Many thanks in advance.

I had success with USBToolBox.kext and UTBMap.kext (Mapping ports in Windows with the utility) and it works.
Thanks.
Current working with Ventura Beta 5 and Monterey 12.5.

So with the recent product announcements from AMD, I believe they are going to be the best contender for hackintosh for the next 2-3 years. Just on the power efficiency figures alone of the new Ryzen 7000 series (40% vs Alder Lake 12900K), shows you how much they have advanced PC desktop technology against Intel, not withstanding the use of all the latest technological improvements like Zen 4, AM5, 5nm, PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 RAM. Aside from the removal of gold pins against bending and employing chiplets they've also taken the liberty to flip and place the smaller micro semiconductor components usually hidden on the bottom of the chip up to the surface so that it allows for better and more gold contacts down bottom and heat dissipation. This explains why there is this new 'octopus-like' lid compared with the Ryzen 5000.
Not sure if anyone knows this but in the mobile landscape we have already seen successes in hackintosh with the Lenovo Legion 5 fitted with AMD Ryzen 5800H & RX6600M GPU. A few users I know have successfully gotten Monterey working on this laptop and it's a great alternative to a Macbook Pro. So I'd expect a Ryzen 7000 laptop to be an even better performer if/when this is released.
You have to understand, this is a perspective coming from a former Intel fan and long time Apple G4/G5/Intel Mac Pro user. As much as I like the new Mac Studios and M1 MacBook Pros, I still think hackintoshes are far more versatile when it comes to dual booting with macOS and Windows.

After spending some time on my iMac19,1 EFI, I still have two things not working. The sound went away after I switched from a iMac18,3. Everything seems to be loading and I've tried many layout-ids but no audio. I have a USB to sound dongle and that works well.Try this EFI from my B560M-H Gigabyte Motherboard...
is OpenCore 0.8.4 and is working with Ventura 13.0 Beta 5.
The other thing is I can't get the Ventura installer to work with my EFI. I was able use the downloaded Gigabyte EFI to get the installer to work with minor changes. So now the installed Ventura beta runs great with the iMac EFI. It's kinda orange. More work I suppose.

Your assuming macOS will even run on the new chipset, may not even boot. There is no reason to believe macOS will support DDR5 or Pcie 5 since all future macs are SoC, so no reason to support PC standards going forward.
They're still selling Intel Mac Minis and Intel Mac Pros so there should be several years of new OS support.
I am pretty happy with Apple Silicon even with M1. But it would be interesting to try it with the 7K series. I'd want a 65 Watt part though.
I am confident that AM5 will work on macOS. So long as it is on an x86 platform, it should/will work.
As it goes DDR5 is already working fine with Z690 Alder Lake based hackintoshes (those chips with AVX512 activated and not fused off). As for PCIe 5, that should work also as all the display standards/connectors use the PCIe bus for output and connectivity.
The reviewers have the chips in hand and I suppose they need to get motherboards and any other parts. The parts should be available in three or four weeks and I'm sure that there will be some that will try to see if Hackintosh works by the end of October and then any work to get it working will proceed. I'm watching OCLP and it's fun to watch the people with development skills play with it, even while there's no kit for the average user right now.
With the new AVX-512 instructions added, I'd expect the AMD Ryzen 7000 to work better with Photoshop under macOS. DRM support should likely improve too. One of my existing systems running on the Ryzen 5900X with a Gigabyte B550 Vision D motherboard and RX6800 had issues with Photoshop under Big Sur. Without the proper patches applied to the app, it would fail to run or would KP. I would think that the (lack of) AVX-512 instructions was probably the cause.
In any case it would also be interesting to see how Ryzen 7000 performs against the M1 Max and M1 Ultra chips (which is really the ultimate hackintosh test). I highly suspect that its performance figures lie somewhere between the two, so we shall see.
got a link to what you'd consider equivalent to a high end MBP?
Yes, this one fitted with the AMD 5800H & RX6600M GPU > https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/lapt...-gen-6-(15-inch-amd)-gaming-laptop/82nw002rus
Ryzen 7000 laptops aren't available yet so I don't have any advice for that.
