The AMD Hackintosh Guide (No macOS required)

UPDATED GUIDE: https://youtu.be/j-Cm30I_DEw

In today's video, I show you how to install macOS on an AMD CPU-based system without the use of macOS. We'll be using OpenCore to do this, and it's a fairly easy process for most systems. AMD's CPUs can offer quite a bit more multicore performance than competing Intel chips, and doing an AMD hackintosh has become a lot easier thanks to recent developments.
