“macOS Mojave will be available this fall as a free software update for Macs introduced in mid-2012 or later, plus 2010 and 2012 Mac Pro models with recommended Metal-capable graphics cards.” From a system requirements standpoint, macOS Mojave appears to require a modern CPU as well as a GPU that is compatible with Metal graphics architecture.
The Mojave 10.14.5 update is the fifth major update for macOS Mojave and is recommended by Apple for “All” Mac users containing the standard security, stability, performance improvements per the release notes. Here the changes:

10.14.5 Update Quick Notes:
Hackintosh 10.14.5 Install Overview
Clover EFI Bootloader: I recommend updating to a new version of Clover r4862 or later to avoid kext injection breaking in 10.14.5.
Clover should handle the update automatically after rebooting, if not when the computer requests a reboot after installing in the app store you will have to manually select: Install macOS from “drive_name” to complete the update in Clover EFI Menu on boot.
Nvidia Graphics: Nvidia Drivers are not available
Graphics Injection: if your coming from an earlier version such as 10.14.0 or Mojave Beta its super important you adapt the new version graphics is handled in clover by setting the proper property values and no longer using Inject Intel. I have some examples provided in Step 3.1 of the Mojave Desktop Guide for different setups. If not set properly as an example their could be super slow login times along with slowdown in apps reopening with Intel Graphics or if using AMD graphics they could boot to a black screen, both situations can be avoided by setting ig-platform-id properly in both places and updating graphical related kexts.
Make sure your using the latest versions of these kexts:
