As i remember there were some post about this on the old forum, but i am unable to find a post about this here, so i would like to ask that :
After we installed our ryzentosh, the cpu is displayed as Intel Core i5 on the About this Mac page, so what's the latest method to modify this on Big Sur?

Thanks everybody, got the solution :
- Disable FileVault
- Reboot into recovery mode
- Go to terminal (in recovery mode)
- Run csrutil disable
- Then run csrutil authenticated-root disable
- Reboot back into MacOS and start up a terminal
- Find your root mount's device - run mount and chop off the last s, e.g. if your root is /dev/disk1s2s3, mark down /dev/disk1s2
- Create a new directory, for example mkdir ~/mount
- Run sudo mount -o nobrowse -t apfs DISK_PATH ~/mount , DISK_PATH is the value you marked down in Step 7
- Run cp /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleSystemInfo.framework/Versions/A/Resources/en.lproj/Processors.strings ~/Desktop/
- Now the file "Processors.strings" is ready in our desktop for modifications, open it with BBEdit
- For example my about this mac shows 6-Core Intel Core i5, you should see something like this : <string>6-Core Intel Core i5</string><key>6-Core Intel Core i5</key>
- Replace it with <key>6-Core Intel Core i5</key>
<string>6-Core AMD Ryzen 5</string>, you may also use other name you want instead of "6-Core AMD Ryzen 5"- Now save and close BBEdit
- Run sudo cp -Rf ~/Desktop/Processors.strings ~/mount/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleSystemInfo.framework/Versions/A/Resources/en.lproj/
- Note if your region isn't US, you may need to one more thing : Go to About this Mac -> System Report -> Language & Region, pick up the first few language in "OS Interface Languages" until it works.
- For example, I got OS Interface Languages: en, en-GB, en-AU, en-IN, zh-Hans, zh-Hant, zh-HK, ja, es, es-419, fr, fr-CA, de, ru, pt-BR, pt-PT, it, ko, tr, nl, ar, th, sv, da, vi, nb, pl, fi, id, he, el, ro, hu, cs, ca, sk, uk, hr, ms, hi, i picked up the first three. So after i did Step 10, i replaced "en.lproj" with "en_GB.lproj" then run Step 10, now with "en_AU.lproj", run step 10 again. cp /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleSystemInfo.framework/Versions/A/Resources/en_GB.lproj/Processors.strings ~/Desktop/ cp /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleSystemInfo.framework/Versions/A/Resources/en_AU.lproj/Processors.strings ~/Desktop/
- Run sudo bless --folder ~/mount/System/Library/CoreServices --bootefi --create-snapshot
- Reboot your system, and the changes should take place.
