..Different from macOS Monterey, which supported a ton of Macs, Apple is closing the gap between the Intel Macs and its own. For example, the beloved “trashcan” Mac Pro will not run the latest macOS 13 Ventura. Here’s the full list of Macs compatible:

2017 iMac and later;
2017 iMac Pro and later;
2018 MacBook Air and later;
2017 MacBook Pro and later;
2019 Mac Pro and later;
2018 Mac mini and later;
2017 MacBook and later;
2022 Mac Studio..

For all those that may be interested in the next iteration of MacOS aka “Ventura” the Devs at the OCLP project, many thanks to them for an immense amount of work;

If your running a currently unsupported Intel Mac (see @Alex5723’s list above) well its a sort of good news bad news scenario.

The following, bearing in mind the 1st Beta isnt released yet, that the following Mac’s may well have some support, unofficially, up to now:

“CPU Requirements
As mentioned in the earlier issues, Ventura drops native support for CPUs lacking AVX2.0. This means that if your machine has an Ivy Bridge or older CPU, it cannot run Ventura as-is. If you’re familiar with swapping the dyld shared, you may try to run Ventura however no proper support will be provided at this time.
For the time being, these units will be properly supported with the Patcher on Ventura:
• iMac14,x +
• MacBook8,1 +
• MacBookAir6,x +
• MacBookPro11,x +
• Macmini7,1 +”

{To find your firmware version, Apple logo->About this Mac->System Report->Hardware (Hardware Overview) }

Although non Metal Macs aka post circa 2011 are still a work in prospect.

Its is not recommended at this time to install on your daily driver!

Unless of course your an inveterate”Tinkerer”

Heres a few links to peruse as to the progress of OCLP up to now, this is proving a litle more difficult than previous editions. However anything that provides an extra lease on life for these useful devices has my vote, and of course if your on “Apple Silicon” you have no worries what so ever.
