Uh cpu onry I’m afraid. I’m going off of the basic geekbench benchmarks. My qemu instance was near the top of the list for all macs they track. It was even higher than one of the Mac “max” pro machines which was interesting.

I didn’t pass through the gpu, only because I’ve got an NVIDIA one right now. To use the newer OSX you need AMD.

Hm okay. I passed 14 of 16 threads of my i9 9900k to MacOS and it was barely usable. After passing through a low end AMD gpu, everything was really fast (faster than the 8 core iMac Pro, benchmark wise, iirc).

Did you use KVM accelerator? I think there’s also another flag to use the native cpu without emulation that you can use in your case. But I’m a newb at qemu

I'm not an expert either, i used VT-x, if that's what you mean.
