@Rasputine Hi. I'm pretty sure you can run macOS Sonoma on a 5600G, @Edhawk can provide a definitive answer, he owns the 5600G and 5700G. I've seen that Tubers previous video about the AI capabilities of the 4600G, even the 4700G impresses.

You can run macOS Sonoma on any AMD system with a 4000 or 5000 Series CPU/APU, with the same OC setup you use for Ventura. Assuming you are using the latest release of the AMD Kernel Patches.

You don't need to be using the latest release of OpenCore, I have an AMD system running on OC 0.9.5 that works perfectly in Sonoma.

If you are using a Broadcom WiFi/BT card these require the use of the OpenCore Legacy Patcher WiFi root patches and some other adaptations to continue to work in macOS Sonoma.

Another update for NootedRed today!, I'm avoiding 14.4 for the time being but I did update OpenCore to 0.9.9. Amongst the NootedRed updates from yesterday there's the 'Fix Renoir driver settings', the same graphics as the 4700G!. GB reported a 500 plus points in performance from any of my previous results the improvement is noticeable in Unigene Valley, and even Stable Diffusion is faster, happy days.

Phew, seemed a lot more dramatic updating to 14.4.1 on the 4700G than the 5700U!, but here we are. I didn't disable itlwm or the BT kexts and kept getting stuck on a boot loop, after some adjustments I made it back to desktop. There have been several updates to NootedRed since my last update and Sonoma is running really well on the 4700G. The desktop picture was created in stable diffusion from the prompt 'Cherry Blossom meadow under a spring blue sky, illustrated in the style of Katsuhiro Otomo'.

There was a recent update to BIOS for the A520 chipset, F20 successfully installed. After remembering to change my settings I was back to desktop. I needed a second boot to change UMA Frame Buffer size to [16G], not sure why you can't select that the first time, 2GB is more than enough for NootedRed to function though. I've removed SMCRadeonGPU/RadeonSensor combination from my kexts folder due to an update last week for SMCRadeonSensors, details in the link below, AMD Power Gadget 0.7.2 returns for system reporting instead.
