How to change CPU name in About my mac

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Boot with -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 to identify the exact kernel panic.
  2. Validate your config.plist using ocvalidate.
  3. Ensure your EFI matches the Dortania guide specifications for your CPU generation.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

So for the past 1-2 weeks, I've been searching for a way to change my processor name, this is what about my mac shows just 3.8GHz I've tried this guide and this CPU-name py script,

nether has worked for me, I've even tried other ways I found but ended up breaking my Hackintosh so I've reinstalled and I'm not sure what to do anymore.

I'm running in a VM using Proxmox if it matters, I need this because have to contact apple about iMessage, willing to try anything at this point.

Thanks.
