MacOS Ventura

macOS Ventura, or macOS 13, is the nineteenth major release of macOS that was released on 24 October 2022, and it was announced on June 6, 2022 at WWDC. It is the first version of macOS to not boot out of the box on CPUs without AVX2, first present in Intel's Haswell architecture. However, pre-AVX2 support is still provided on Apple silicon installations for Rosetta 2. Ventura drops support for AMD's GCN 1-3 GPUs, as well as Intel Haswell, Broadwell, and Skylake integrated graphics.
