very slow geekbench performance with Bug Sur

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.

Hello,

I am new to hackintosh.

I have an acer predator laptop with core i5 8300 H, 16GB RAM, XPG Gammix NVME SSD

I was able to install Big Sur but I feel that the performance is very laggy.

Opening apps is quite slow and in general the performance is very poor, I ran black magic Hard Disk speed test and I get 2400 MB/s Write and 2700 MB/s read speeds so the SSD does not seem to be an issue.

The battery backup is very poor as well.

Installed Big Sur 11.0.1.

My geekbench scores are at https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/11807711

vs

https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i5-8300h

I have attached my config.plist

Please let me know what mistake I am doing.

Thanks
