 +Major droppage of older Intel CPUs, Broadcom WiFi Chipsets (Apple native hardware for Handoff capabilities). For myself at least, this is where the road ends. I can certainly build a newer hack, but we're now on the last round of Intel-released Macs that are left compatible.

 +==== Since macOS 13 - Ventura ====

 +Mostly just compatibility dropping of older GPUs and CPUs.

 Chill.. first off. It means that we may be seeing the end of Hackintoshing, but that is going to be roughly a decade down the line. Apple is not going to give up on Intel completely. As long as there are Macs that are being supported that use Intel-based processors, this will be around. This is also not to say that devs can spoof the CPU by that point either.. Many a hackintosh builds are using the ever-popular AMD Ryzen processors (Ryzentoshes) currently. If you notice, original Mac Pros are still being supported (albeit just MacPro 5,1, but still) and countless other models will be for some time, especially the new models that have just come out using Intel's processors. Apple will not alienate their customer base overnight. So, if you're looking to start fresh, use a latest gen Intel processor! Or, if you're feeling adventurous, check out the AMD builds. Chill.. first off. It means that we may be seeing the end of Hackintoshing, but that is going to be roughly a decade down the line.
