XanthraX Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 1 hour ago, etorix said: RTX Spark… Just one question: WHY??? There's already the GB10 (DGX Spark), which seems to be the same chip. But what's the point of taking a $5k box to make a Hackintosh when you can get a real Mac for less? Then it's not just a question of ARM architecture, there's the "little issue" of graphic drivers (and just about every other peripheral) while remapping Apple custom accelerator (Neural Engine, media encoder) to what's available. (Remember: x86 Hackintosh is possible because Intel Macs use regular Intel CPUs, but Apple Silicon is a custom ARM chip.) Because the PC's are still customizable. I don't talk here about laptops. I prefer anytime a real Macbook pro to any laptop hackintosh. But in desktops? Have you a real Mac with customizable drives and memory? I just hope. Intel Macs use regular Intel CPU's, but how come Hackintosh was capable on AMD CPU's Apple never used? 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362868-pre-release-macos-golden-gate/page/2/#findComment-2850984 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD emulated Intel's x86 architecture to run Windows. Not really a fair comparison. I'll never be one to say never and will cheer for those attempting to create a hack that runs macOS 27, but I'm not holding my breath either. Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people who didn't know they were impossible.

etorix Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Same X86_64 instruction set as Intel CPUs and, contrary to Apple Silicon, no custom accelerator involved… Have you noticed that these Spark systems are NOT customisable beyond a M.2 slot? LPDDR5 RAM is soldered (just like any current Mac), there's no PCIe slot, and with the GB10 systems it seems that Nvidia keeps such a close control on the hardware that no OEM did any change to the number and location of ports—only the outer cases are distinctive. Admittedly, this is still one user-serviceable slot (M.2) more than a Mac. 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362868-pre-release-macos-golden-gate/page/2/#findComment-2850990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsradu Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) What I found interesting is that, even with only Apple Silicon support, the installer was still 17-18GB in size. :)) Remember when they used to be around 4-5GB? I know there's probably a lot of "AI" in there now. But yeah...I was kinda waiting for them to decrease. Now I'm not sure they will ever go back to that size.

The shrink will come with macOS 28, when Rosetta 2 and all remaining x86 code are removed—though probably not back down to 5 GB. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362868-pre-release-macos-golden-gate/page/2/#findComment-2851037 Share on other sites More sharing options...

miliuco Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago @matxpa Good afternoon. I saw your DFI post showing a beta version for Silicon. How did you do this? What code or URL do you use to get Silicon beta versions? I've added a firmwares tab to my repo, but I can only access the non-beta versions from Apple's official URL. Golden Gate isn't among them, obviously. Could you show me how to do it? Show me the code? Thank you very much in advance. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362868-pre-release-macos-golden-gate/page/2/#findComment-2851236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
