Anyone here success for engineering samples (ES) cpu?
I have a QDE7 cpu (a haswell xeon) but could not boot from usb installer

My Rig:
CPU : Intel Confidential ES QDE7 1150 haswell 4 cores/8threads
Mainboard: Gigabyte b85 d3v-plus
VGA : Rx 470 4G
Memory : 8G
SSD

My rig was fine with Mojave for intel Xeon E3-1220v3, after replace with ES cpu, I reinstall but it's reboot after choose mojave installer option from Clover

Did you find a solution for this? Do ES cpus work with hackintosh builds?

Hi, I was trying to hackintosh my pc (with the same Mojave image and clover that I successfully hackintosh my i3-4170). I have an ES haswell i7 QDE8 (supposed to be 4770s) and Everytime it freezes at "end random seed". Then I putted back my i3 and i can boot up. I'm trying to put the ES I7 to works fine, I'll update later, hopefully it works and help someone

UPDATE:
I got it, installed successfully with the confidential i7. I used FakePCII kext, some patches on config.plist and an opencore EFI folder.
Patches and guide for opencore fake cpu: https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/365
P.s: It is recognising as i3, but MacCPUID shows correctly the 4C/8T.
