Is Intel 10th Gen iGPU compatibility the "last stop"?.

[gatorback]

Is 10th Gen Intel iGPU (HD630/620) is the final / last iGPU found OEM Apple PCs? If it is, then when HD630 support is no more, then the craft (as we know it today with Opencore is no more? Or is there an expectation that Intel + AMD Radeon dGPU will persist somewhat beyond HD630 retirement?

Yes, the last natively supported Intel IGPU is from the 10th Gen series of CPU’s.

But as with AMD Hackintosh systems, the lack of an IGPU is not the end of the world. Using a SMBIOS from an iMacPro1,1 or MacPro7,1 is currently a viable option, which will continue until Apple drop support for these two systems.

Disabling an IGPU (Skylake and older) and using a discrete AMD GPU with one of these system definitions has been the most logical solution for those wanting to run macOS Ventura on unsupported hardware. This will be the best option for those using Kaby Lake systems wanting to run Sonoma later this year.

Intel support is on its way out. Apple transitioned it’s entire Mac line to apple silicon. So unless hell freezes over, no new intel processor or iGPU will be natively supported on macOS. also, no new Radeon generation will be supported either. Like rdna3 or newer.
