I believe that OSX is optimized for Intel's brand of x86 - might have been too much effort to switch vendors when it comes to future kernel support.

- dom0 9y agomacOS does not seem like an OS that has been optimized much at all in regards to the CPU. Also, Apple dragged macOS from PPC to x86; switching x86 implementations is no big deal for the rest of the world, it surely should not be a challenge for Apple.
- floatboth 9y agoYeah. People have done AMD Hackintoshes. It's more likely that they have some agreement with Intel that prevents them from going AMD for the CPU.
