Successful Ryzentosh laptop (HP 245 G8)
What works: - CPU power management using this kext. Battery life is not great, but I haven't checked what can be done to improve it yet. - USB tethering from an Android phone as a workaround for having Wi-Fi since iOS only allows to do USB tethering with mobile data. If you need it as well, check this kext out. - Hardware acceleration thanks to NootedRed. - iServices. - Built-in speakers. - All USB ports. - HDMI video. - Ethernet. - Keyboard. - Trackpad.

Ryzentosh 100% success! R5 3600X, RX5700XT on Ventura.
Sleep works, there's an AMD power management kext https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor

What are the apps that will not run or runs unstably with Ryzentosh?
If you install https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor you have the same telemetry as you would with Intel.

Dual-boot Mac/Win Hackintosh - Slower performance on MacOs
This isn't true, trulyspinach has a power management kext for AMD that brings performance to pretty much being identical to Windows with the Core Performance Boost feature. Or you can just force the CPU into the P0 state. https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/releases

I've tried playing around with the SMCAMDProcessor, but not had any luck. This is same with Cinebench

CPU/system fans stopped on wake
There is a new FakeSMC3 but I have not tried it yet as the old one works fine for my current BigSur install on old hardware. I may give it a whirl on my laptop which is slightly newer.

Monterey on Atermiter X79 + E5-2620v2 + AMD RX6600 | OpenCore 0.8.6
Hardware sensors: One thing to take into consideration are the hardware sensors, if you like to monitor stuff using apps like iStatica or iStat Menus. VirtualSMC seems to lack support for the sensors on this system. After looking for a solution I got to a fork of FakeSMC that has the perfect support for this hardware: FakeSMC3 from CloverHackyColor. I find it very stable and provides a lot more sensors to monitor temperatures.But I cannot guarantee its stability and performance since a lot of people on the community say VirtualSMC is superior. This just works for me, guys. Feel free to try what is best for you.
