## What it is
A collection of binary kernel patches that enable near-native AMD CPU support on macOS via the OpenCore bootloader. It supports AMD 15h, 16h, 17h, and 19h CPU families (FX, A-Series, Ryzen, Threadripper) using the ProvideCurrentCpuInfo quirk.

## Use cases
- run macOS on an AMD Ryzen CPU
- boot macOS on a hackintosh with AMD processor
- enable iMessage and FaceTime on AMD hackintosh
- patch macOS kernel for AMD FX Bulldozer CPU
- install macOS Sequoia on Ryzen 7000 Zen 4
- fix core count patch for multi-core AMD CPU

## When to choose
- you are building a hackintosh with an AMD CPU and OpenCore
- you want native macOS kernel instead of a custom XNU kernel on AMD
- you need iMessage, Siri, FaceTime, and Continuity working on AMD macOS

## When to avoid
- you have an Intel CPU (use standard OpenCore guides instead)
- you need 32-bit application support on macOS 10.14 or lower
- you use a bootloader other than OpenCore 0.7.1+
