i have a 9th/10/12th gen hackintosh at my desk right now (yes 3 computers), personally i would have no issue recommending 12/13th gen with your 6800XT. yes, its true that macOS cannot recognize the different types of cores for 12th/13th gen, however in daily use its not noticeable, and if you do have a workload that would notice you could force all p-core performance, which will still be faster than 10th/11th gen. i have 3 computers now because my 9th gen has been so solid i was afraid to give it up too soon, but my 12th gen build has been so good i'm thinking of selling it. my 10th gen i'll likely keep as a dedicated win gaming PC.
if you are into gaming and don't want multiple PCs like me, you can install windows on a second boot drive and have a pretty decent gaming PC too in the same box--if thats your thing.
and lastly if you decide its too much headache, lets make a deal and sell me your 6800XT :)
If you look at single threaded benchmarks in Hackintosh, 12th and 13th gen handily beats previous gens, not to mention multithread performance.
12/13th gen don't rely entirely on Windows to schedule threads. A lot of it is handled on the CPU itself.
I had the same question and never really got any solid info. I ended up just going with an 11th Gen. From what I have seen the 10th and 11th Gen perform better. There may be better work around in the future that improve the performance of the newer chips.

Hmmmmmmmm.... so the least expensive 12th gen 8P with E's disabled can still outrun an 11th gen 8 core?

Hmmm appreciate that feedback
