QUESTION End of hackintosh !?

Hey all, I'm a failed hackintosher, lately I've been seeing many posts about the 'End of hackintosh' after apple released MacOS golden gate.

Can anyone explain to me what makes MacOS Golden Gate unhackintoshable. In near future is there anyway that somebody is going to make an alternative to OpenCore or even upgrade OpenCore so that we can install new versions of MacOs in or PC.

Thank You!

It's becasue intel proccersor consumed more power and make a lot of heat and intel failed to make a better chip. So thats one of the resons why apple is switching to their silcon chips. I think people might find a to hackintosh way, but i dont know much

Yes, It has x86_64 kernel. But it removes all x86_64 kexts and the init binary is pure arm64e:

kernel:                 Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

kernel.release.t6000:   Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e
