So, I have been using a Hackintosh for almost two years now. Ever since I have upgraded to High Sierra though, I have noticed a serious decline in its performance. And this is even after a clean install over the last weekend.
Day to day performance of the machine is fine. I can browse Chrome with 20+ tabs open without any issues. However, rendering time of Final Cut Pro X has gone out of hand. Earlier today, I tried exporting a 6-minute video with only some basic color correction applied and the whole process was not even complete even after an hour. I have previously exported videos with more effects, transitions etc. of similar length in only around 20 mins.
I thought that the issue was due to my GPU not working to its full potential. I fired up Cinebench and noticed my CPU score of 684 was far lower than what they should be. I see a similar story in Geekbench 4 where my OC'd 6600K scores lower than other machines featuring the same processor as well.

Interestingly, I see that Cinebench is reporting my 6600K as having 2 cores and 4 threads when it is actually a quad-core CPU. Hackintosh specs:
Intel 6600K at 4.2GHz, 16GB RAM, Samsung 850 EVO SSD, AMD R9 270X, Dual-monitor setup
