If you are currently on Windows or a basic Hackintosh install, use this checklist to see your path forward:
Efforts to "spoof" earlier supported iGPUs (like the UHD 630) do not work because the underlying architecture of the UHD 730 is fundamentally different. Performance Issues:
: The UHD 730 (found in 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen CPUs) uses the Intel Xe architecture , which Apple never supported in their Intel-based Macs.
If you are with a system that has a UHD 730 (because you already bought the CPU for Windows/Linux work), you must purchase a compatible AMD Radeon graphics card. If you are building a laptop that relies solely on that iGPU, you are out of luck and should look for a used business laptop with an 8th or 10th gen Intel CPU (UHD 620 or 630).
