Mojave will be almost UNUSABLE without graphics acceleration. This includes the 15' and 17' MacBook Pro systems (MacBookPro8,2 and 8,3). If you want to enable GPU acceleration on these machines, you'll need to disable the AMD GPU (This will work on MacBook Pro 8,2 and 8,3 systems ONLY. You CANNOT disable the AMD GPU in an iMac.). Not Happy, I have a iMac 27p SSD I7 mi-2009 fast, and NO MOJAVE UPGRADE, disgusting. Last it seems that there was a deal with Microsoft to use a microsoft antialiasing software up to 2017, this would restrict Apple Mac OS to Retina display, may be this is the real reason for discarding more that 5 years old Macs that are not Retina, a number of users having non retina screens (external ),are. Essentially the Mojave Patcher Tool creates a modified USB installer drive (similar to the regular Mojave boot installer drive you can make) which you can then use to install not only macOS Mojave on the otherwise unsupported Macs listed below, but also a series of patched macOS Mojave component files that allow it to boot. Mojave will be almost UNUSABLE without graphics acceleration. This includes the 15' and 17' MacBook Pro systems (MacBookPro8,2 and 8,3).

Apple previously released security updates to defend against Spectre—a series of speculative execution vulnerabilities affecting devices with ARM-based and Intel CPUs. Intel has disclosed additional Spectre vulnerabilities, called Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS), that apply to desktop and notebook computers with Intel CPUs, including all modern Mac computers.

macOS Mojave 10.14.5 includes security updates for Safari, and the option to enable full mitigation, as described below.

Security Update 2019-003 High Sierra and Security Update 2019-003 Sierra include the option to enable full mitigation.

About security fixes in macOS Mojave

macOS Mojave 10.14.5 fixes this issue for Safari with no measurable performance impact.¹This update prevents exploitation of these vulnerabilities via JavaScript or as a result of navigating to a malicious website in Safari.

Customers can also protect their Mac by updating security settings in macOS to download apps only from the App Store. This setting helps prevent the installation of apps that could potentially exploit these vulnerabilities. All apps from the App Store are signed by Apple to ensure that they haven’t been tampered with or altered. Learn how to view and change app security settings on your Mac.

Although there are no known exploits affecting customers at the time of this writing, customers with computers at heightened risk or who run untrusted software on their Mac can optionally enable full mitigation to prevent harmful apps from exploiting these vulnerabilities. Full mitigation requires using the Terminal app to enable an additional CPU instruction and disable hyper-threading processing technology. This capability is available for macOS Mojave, High Sierra, and Sierra in the latest security updates and may reduce performance by up to 40 percent², with the most impact on intensive computing tasks that are highly multithreaded. Learn how to enable full mitigation.

Unsupported Mac models

These Mac models may receive security updates in macOS Mojave, High Sierra or Sierra, but are unable to support the fixes and mitigations due to a lack of microcode updates from Intel.

¹ Safari performance: Testing conducted by Apple in May 2019 showed that these updates resulted in no measurable reduction in Safari performance using common Web browsing benchmarks such as Speedometer, JetStream, and MotionMark.

Unsupported Mac Mojave Software

² macOS performance: Testing conducted by Apple in May 2019 showed as much as a 40% reduction in performance with tests that include multithreaded workloads and public benchmarks. Performance tests are conducted using specific Mac computers. Actual results will vary based on model, configuration, usage, and other factors.
