In my video series I already introduced amazing Hackintosh build, real 14-core iMac Pro Killer.
I also introduced Ryzen 3000 AMD Hackintosh, or Ryzentosh if you want.
But, which one is better?
Should you buy Intel or AMD Hackintosh build?
Let’s put both under heavy load in productivity and content creation benchmarks and see who’s the winner.
Hi, I’m Teresa from morgonaut.cloud and I help people with Apple computers, Hackintosh
builds, Linux servers, simply with computers.
If you are new here, then please click that subscribe button and hit the bell next to

I’ll show you in this video overall 33 benchmark tests, so I ran 66 tests all together, it
was really very time consuming.
Detailed timeline index is in video description.
If you want to see detailed videos about those two builds, links to it you can find now again
in this video description.
Both CPUs in those 2 hackintosh builds have 8 physical cores and 16 threads, so it’s
a fair battle and that’s also great opportunity to compare overall performance and put again
AMD against Intel into a benchmark fight.
Neither of those CPUs were overclocked, both were running on stock settings, I just enabled
PBO on the Ryzentosh, so it gained a bit more performance out of the box.
Both Hackintosh builds were running exactly the same 64GB of HyperX Predator 3200 MHz
CL16 memory, both were running exactly same GPU, the Vega Frontier Edition with 16 gigs
of VRAM, both were running from the exactly same SSD, I just changed the EFI folder configuration,
because all my builds are vanilla hackintosh builds.
So the only difference was of course the CPU and motherboard.
I will show you now video editing performance, 3D rendering performance, OpenCL CPU and GPU
benchmarks, raw CPU and GPU performance, so you can better decide if you will go for Intel
Hackintosh or AMD Hackintosh.
So, let’s go straight into this monster 33 tests of performance comparison.
Let’s start with Cinebench r20.
Let’s move to Geekbench.
BTW lot of people don’t know they can’t compare results between Geekbench 4 and 5 versions.
Some people are confused why are they getting so low results with Geekbench 5 comparing
to results they can see for example in my past videos.
Simply Geekbench 4 and 5 are using completely different metrics.
So what looks very low in Geekbench 5 is in fact very good result.
You will see the difference right now.
So first Geekbench version 4.
And now Geekbench version 5.
So let’s move to Corona benchmark.
And now let’s have look at the V-Ray benchmark.
And what about video performance in DaVinci Resolve Studio 16.
This is mix of various source footage formats, mainly ProRes 422 LT, 30fps, 4k resolution, 10bit,
timeline is also 4K 30fps, some H.264 60fps footage, some 32bit EXRs, ProRes 422 HQ 60fps,
and some PNGs.
Optimized media is disabled, no render cache.
Scrubbing in timeline is absolutely fantastic on both Hackintosh builds.
BTW it’s far superior compared to Windows or Linux installations I’ve tested.
Render settings I use absolutely the same on both Hackintoshes, H.264 render, 4K resolution,
30fps, 80 mbit limit.
Ok so next is the Blender Benchmark.
It consist from 6 separate scenes to render and took really very long time to complete.
First let’s proceed with CPU rendering.
And now let's move to GPU rendering.
And finally Luxmark benchmark.
It has 3 scenes to render, all I tested using OpenCL CPU, OpenCL GPU and Native C++.
So conclusion.
As you could see the Intel Core i9-9900k Hackintosh was faster than the the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
Hackintosh in ALL of these tests or on par!
One task where AMD totally failed was the Luxmark Luxball test using both CPU and GPU
where Intel was whopping 336 % faster.
So when I will not count this single AMD total fail, overall average lead of the Intel over
the AMD in CPU tasks was 9%.
In GPU tasks Intel was just 1.3% faster.
But if I will count that poor AMD result in that single Luxmark test, then Intel was overall
from those 33 benchmark tests at average 16.1% faster.
Now it’s up to you which of these Hackintosh builds you decide to build.
I like both, but still all my production machines are running on Intel.
If you would like to build Intel or AMD Hackintosh I strongly recommend to watch my detailed
videos about these two tested builds, I covered there all details and also full list of compatible
components, so read video description.
So the easiest and fastest way how to build perfect hackintosh is to follow my advices,
you will save lot of money, time and headaches.
