Custom CPU names for OpenCore 0.6.2
Custom CPU names for OpenCore 0.6.2
You'll need to modify the config.plist file. Within the Generic section, locate and adjust the ProcessorType field as required. Be sure to use ProperTree for safe edits, or OpenCore may reject the boot process afterward.
In the config file, the ProcessorType is set as a number that tells the system how the computer's CPU works. It matches the type shown in Apple’s SMBIOS guide. The document says this number comes from automatic detection, which tries to guess the right type for your chip. If it doesn’t work, check the system settings and provide the correct sysctl and dmidecode info. For more details on what values are possible, you can look at the Apple SMBIOS documentation linked. It’s a bit confusing unless someone explains it simply.
