Erying ITX i5-12500H OpenCore
OpenCore 0.9.5 Tested on macOS 14.0 Sonoma
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!
The current version of OpenCore doesn't work with 12500H very well. It only passes the boot.efi handoff stage if you either disable Hyperthreading or disable all E-cores. In my testing, disabling Hyperthreading lead to better performance. (Track issue: https://github.com/dortania/bugtracker/issues/336)
