#SMBIOS GENERATOR FOR HACKINTOSH UPDATE#

Because the i3 is not officially supported yet you will need a workaround like the one in this guide until then. The i3 has a separate product ID ofВ 0x3E91 compared to the i5/i7 which share 0x3E92 so I think the iGPU will also work on the i5. I can get UHD 630 graphics acceleration to work on an i7-8700k OOB, but not with the i3. :В As of High Sierra 13.1 I also noticed the iGPU only works on certain Coffee Lake CPUвЂ™s. iGPU now sleep/wake works flawlessly on an i7-8700k. : I redid my EFI partition and made some changes to the kexts and my ist that seemed to solve the issue. I have also yet to experience any restarts in sleep or kernel panics as of yet with Coffee Lake. This problem doesnвЂ™t exist when when I slot in a dedicated AMD or Nvidia graphics card and sleep/wake.

IвЂ™m still looking for a fix and will update this once I find a solution. This is good news and a nice change of events for those who donвЂ™t want to use a dedicated graphics card as sleep/wake functionality is something no one managed to get working on the Sky Lake HD 530 or Kaby Lake HD even in High Sierra.В Sleep with a dedicated graphics card also works fine.ДЄlthough sleep and wake work over the UHD 630 iGPU, once in awhile when waked there can be graphical artifacts that wont go away until you restart the machine. This isnвЂ™t the case with Coffee Lake.Д«esides the core count increase and the smoother integrated graphics with video playback the other big thing with Coffee Lake for macOS is that there is working sleep/wake over the UHD 630 iGPU. One example is with videos where without any configuration there is a noticeable pause every time you skip to a different point in a video before it resumes playing. The UHD630 iGPU is noticeably smoother than HD630 in macOS.

Upgrading from an i7-7700k stock speeds dropped my time from 25 seconds to 17 seconds and making the switch to High Sierra. I also noticed upgrading to High Sierra gave me faster numbers in the Bruce 5k Benchmark. Those performance figures transfer over to macOS. With the i7-8700k 6 Cores and 12 threads running at 5GHz things start to get super fast. Of course what youвЂ™re getting is the increased core count. You can get Coffee Lake working follow the general guide: Guide to fresh installing macOS High Sierra on a Hackintosh (10.13 Update) Worth Upgrading Too?

IвЂ™ve been using Coffee Lake as a hackintosh for awhile now and although if you been looking to build one early one you probably know information has been scarce so hereвЂ™s what I think of it as well as the rundown of what you need to know, which I will be adding more too as spend time experimenting with Coffee Lake as a hackintosh.
