Thanks for this thread. I have a 3600X in a B550 Aorus Master. One of the most stable machines I've ever had, running Big Sur. I didn't read all the way through this thread before putting a revcpu property in config.plist, or changing ProcessorType, and added a revcpuname string of "AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor". Now, no matter what I change it too, it seems that this is what it says. Does it write this out to the filesystem somewhere that I could clear out?

machdep has a different variant:

machdep.cpu.brand: 0
machdep.cpu.brand_string: AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT 6-Core Processor
machdep.cpu.core_count: 6
machdep.cpu.cores_per_package: 6

Clear the NVRAM from the OpenCore boot picker. Should update it if you've changed it.

This was indeed the answer! Thanks!

I just got a new CPU and GPU and now my CPU name will not show up.
I have a R9 5900X.
I have CPU type set to 0.


With the previous CPU setting the same value to 1537 worked before.
Besides 0 what other value is used for 12 cores?

EDIT:
I updated my kexts and changed CPU Type and its working now.

Lucky for some It doesn't seem to like mine showing as Unknown...

Edit: There we go As my CPU was "Unknown" I just used the ProcessorType in OC to change it to what the kext was trying to replace.

Can you explain, what steps you follow to fix it?

Set your ProcessorType as my screenshot.
