New Release 5140.1

Release was reloaded because of small bug with CPU frequency.

Implemented ExtendedFirmwareFeatures which is needed for Monterey beta 7.
Integration with OC 0.7.3

OpenRuntime must be updated.

This clover work fantastic with good things from opencore

I'm use the opncore, but great job!

New release 5161.

Some adaptation for Intel Ultra processors.

Fixed some bugs with XHCI driver, hope it will be useful for someone.

Thanks Slice!

@Slice my Arrow Lake run animation, etc in 2x speed

I extracted boot log. Can you fix? Archive.zip

Im using same quirks in Clover and Opencore in same EFI folder with BootloaderChooser by jief666

[Slice]

But this log is not latest

Starting Clover revision: 5160 (master, commit 788654cdc)

And did you set UseARTFrequncy=true?

let me check. ill back soon

[Slice]

Check also

AppleXcpmForceBoost

ProvideCurrentCpuInfo

I am not sure if they means something but you may test switch them back.

[MaLd0n]

@Slice Work with UseARTFrequncy=true. Thx!

AppleXcpmForceBoost <--- need this quirk to fix perfomance for now

ProvideCurrentCpuInfo <---don't need this

preboot.5161.UseARTFrequncy=true.zip

[Slice]

I look XNU sources of Ventura and see

	switch (cpuid_cpufamily()) {
	case CPUFAMILY_INTEL_KABYLAKE:
	case CPUFAMILY_INTEL_ICELAKE:
	case CPUFAMILY_INTEL_SKYLAKE: {
		/*
		 * SkyLake and later has an Always Running Timer (ART) providing
		 * the reference frequency. CPUID leaf 0x15 determines the
		 * rationship between this and the TSC frequency expressed as
		 *   -	multiplier (numerator, N), and
		 *   -	divisor (denominator, M).
		 * So that TSC = ART * N / M.
		 */

If so may be better to fake processor to Kabylake 0x090fe2?

 

EDITED:: Yes, Sequoia has CometLake definition 0xA5

[MaLd0n]

@Slice for normal perfomance on Arrow Lake we need to use quirk AppleXcpmForceBoost but is not good solution

Do u can check correct fix for that case?

Log with quirk disable preboot NO QUIRK.log.zip

Log with quirk enable preboot with QUIRK.log.zip

For example: GeekBench is 22k but with Quirk disable...

Quirk enable

I don't know how it works but may be replace VirtualSMC(+SMCProcessor) to FakeSMC(+IntelCPUMonitor) which has a revision adopted to this processor. 

https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/FakeSMC3_with_plugins/releases/tag/251

And new Clover has generating SSDT with P-State for such processor.

Tested. Same perfomance with no quirk. Problem is about Turbo boost like on x99.

[Slice]

May be wait for Intel datasheet on such CPU?

[MaLd0n]

I remember that almost every update caused the patch to stop working. The solution was to always set it to the maximum.

AppleXcpmForceBoost

Description: Forces maximum performance in XCPM mode.

This patch writes 0xFF00 to MSR_IA32_PERF_CONTROL (0x199), effectively setting maximum multiplier for all the time.

Maybe using SSDTPRGEN will work

https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh

[Slice]

Piker Alpha never saw Intel Ultra. 

I have 

Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures

Software Developer’s Manual

but dated 2021. I expected new manual with Intel Ultra processor to know what is the difference.

[MaLd0n]

@Slice M4 max vs 285k in perfomance Cinebench

M4 MAX

 

 

285K
