Laptop Compatibility

[Killuminati91]

Im kinda confused with the recent leaks pointing at a i7-1068NG7 ice Lake processor for the new MacBook. I think I’m gonna jump ship and order a Lenovo s940 and stick with it. Were there any recent consumer processors that could not be spoofed in the end?

I've ordered an MSI Prestige 15 and a DW1820A to use with it (you can change the WiFi/BT module on the Prestige, it is not soldered). This laptop has an i7-10710u, a processor that is not supported yet. As soon as 10.15.4 get a public release, I'll be experimenting with it. For what I know so far, Whatevergreen got an update to solve some problems with Ice Lake processors. Same for some other kexts, so I think it will work. If I can't make it work, I'm sure I'll be able to soon.

I'm in the same exact boat with my prestige 15, I'm going to use a
Broadcom BCM94360NG for wifi though. Much better for wifi. No kexts at all required and everything works out of the box that way,

I know about the better compatibility of that card. I also have two DW1560. But I decided to try with DW1820A because it has better BT, and faster WiFi. Supposedly, it only needs a couple of kexts and a patch. Nothing too crazy.

Good news everyone!

After that commit https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/commit/6d61426da5e89a33801c9f8a8f563861ed35d883

Opencore support Ice Lake. Just have tested it right now. No more allocation error.

Just build new version of opencore and enable ProtectUefiServices and DevirtualiseMmio!

Were you also using 10.15.4 beta 5 or a previous stable version? Guessing this applies to comet lakes also that didn't work before.

You can test by yourself. Just compile latest version of opencore from github and enable ProtectUefiServices and DevirtualiseMmio!
I have tried on 10.15.3 install. And got no more allocation error. Just got KP while loading kernel. And thats all test that i have done.

Hello I have compiled the version of Open Core, however I do not know Open Core very well so I cannot configure it for Ice Lake.
Could you give me a guide to understand open core and be able to configure it for Ice Lake?
(PS: My laptop is an MSI prestige 15)

I'm gonna give it a shot this Tuesday/Wednesday when hopefully the final version of 15.4 is released, they've had 5 betas now.
