I posted a modded CpuTopologySync.kext that fixes Alder Lake's core and thread recognition before, now I renamed it to CpuTopologyRebuild.kext to avoid confusion and I created a repository for it. https://github.com/b00t0x/CpuTopologyRebuild If you have the difficulty with performance with...

I wish these 2 OpenCore kernel patches will be working for you. Base: _cpuid_set_info Find: B9350000 000F32 Replace: B8180018 0031D2 Count: 2 Comment: Set core_count = 0x18(24), thread_count = 0x18(24) Identifier: kernel Find: C1E81AFF C089 Replace: B8800000 0089 Count: 1 Comment...

Is ProvideCurrentCpuInfo set to true? If it doesn't work with ProvideCurrentCpuInfo, use debug version of Lilu and this kext and show me the debug log. To get debug log, add -ctsdbg liludump=30 to boot args and execute cat /var/log/Lilu* | grep cts after boot.

I cleaned up a debug prints and rebuild the kext. (no functionality changes) And I also attached RestrictEvents.kext with minimal fix to make About This Mac CPU name change working with my CpuTopologySync.kext. changelog: https://gist.github.com/b00t0x/a13cefd4644e9d6d57908ce3420c3002/revisions

Cinebench score differences are interesting because I thought full-load scores will be almost same. I found another interesting performance diffrences. I ran Windows 11 VM on this Hackintosh with VMware Fusion 12 Player in different host core/thread configuraions and guest vCPU configurations...

I wrote a experimental kext for change core / thread recognition. This kext enables 16 cores / 24 threads recognition with Core i9. It is also possible to make 8 cores / 24 threads recognition by making the CPU behave like a 3-way SMT. In addition, with HT disabled, you can make it look like an...

I think so too. There are no problems to solve now. We have fully working systems.

I attached a small ruby script to patch DSDT.aml Here is usage. $ mv proc_patch.rb.txt proc_patch.rb $ chmod +x proc_patch.rb $ ./proc_patch.rb DSDT.dsl 16 > DSDT_patched.dsl Specify first argument for DSDT.dsl path, second for threads per CPU. If you have 8-core CPU with HT, you should specify...

I made some mistake about how to fix DSDT. So I fixed the post above. Sorry.

Now I'm planning to write small script to patch DSDT Processor scope. If you see a message like "should have X threads but only found Y" above the AppleACPIPlatform panic, it must be caused by Processor scope issue. I couldn't avoid the panic without Processor scope edit (or not using 8-core...

I've tested my system with your SSDT-1.aml. Everything worked perfect! It worked with latest BIOS 5802, annoying random freezes has gone. I used my own DSDT.aml (only Processor scope patch added) with your SSDT-1.aml, then all 32 threads are recognized, SpeedStep and TurboBoost worked properly...

I haven't tested yet so I don't know whether text below is a help to you, but I can put some information. I read Processor scope in your DSDT.aml, it is adjusted for 24 cores. In SCK0 (socket 0) Processor (C000, 0x00, 0x00000410, 0x06) ... Processor (C00B, 0x0B, 0x00000410, 0x06) # 12th...

I know there are some problems of booting with two 8-core v2 CPUs. I made some fix to processor scope of DSDT.aml and make it bootable last year. I'll try these fix to your DSDT.aml, and share how to fix if I can boot El Capitan.

Great post, TpwUK! I'm struggling to avoid random freeze that analogo encountered with Yosemite/El Capitan. I really want to know how to create stable system with Z9PE-D8 WS + El Capitan. My system have two E5-2687W v2 ES and GTX760 (or GTX970), so your method may adopt my system. I think it's...

Oh I didn't know about AppleGraphicsControl.kext. Thanks. But nothing happend when I changed MacPro6,1 config to "none". I tried it at 10.10.2, so next time I will update 10.10.3 and try this.
