Hackintosh laptop CPU problem

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Hi guys, i´ve tried to install macOS on my laptop for basic applications it only can be used on macOS. I installed macOS versions from Sierra to Catalina sucesfull (I am currently trying fix this on High Sierra) but in all of those versions haves a comun problem and that is the multiplier of the cpu. The perfomance is so slow. For example, if open a youtube video or a song on itunes the time that elapses in passing the seconds takes too long, 10 seconds in my hackintosh on real time is 18 seconds so that affects the general perfomance.
So, i think who the causant of this is the multiplier of the cpu, this problem happens in clover and opencore too, the difference is who in opencore needs a fakecpu and amd patches ( 0x010676 Penrym and x86 validate topology patch) for boot macOS and Clover not, but the problem is the same.
When i open "about of this mac" the cpu appears like "unknow" and cpu frequency 1.9 on clover and opencore 1.1Ghz when really is 1.10Ghz how basic frequency to 2.50Ghz.
How can fix that?
CPU: Intel Pentium N4200 4C/4T 1.10Ghz
PD. All EFI folders that i used not work with macOS Big Sur, i don´t know why if on Catalina works fine.
