You must disable the UHD 770 in the BIOS or via OpenCore to avoid conflicts and ensure macOS uses the AMD card for all tasks. CPU-Only Logic: The CPU itself (the P-cores and E-cores)
Use OpenCore: It is the only modern bootloader capable of handling the P-core/E-core architecture of these CPUs.
Acceleration Challenges: Even with spoofing, achieving full hardware acceleration is notoriously difficult. Without it, the UI will be laggy, and graphics-heavy tasks like video editing or window transitions will be nearly impossible.
Black screen on boot:
Since macOS does not recognize 12th-14th Gen Intel CPUs, you must "trick" the system into thinking it is a 10th Gen Comet Lake CPU.
If you cannot add a dedicated GPU, you can technically get the system to boot, but it will only provide a basic display (VESA mode). This is unsuitable for daily use or creative work.
