However, Yosemite Zone includes experimental "patched" kernels that may allow Mac OS X to work with these processors regardless. Normally, computers that use AMD processors are unsupported by Mac OS X.
Yosemite Zone supports more hardware (including AMD). Normally, you can bypass this limitation on Unibeast by applying the MBR patch however, Yosemite Zone does this for you automatically, saving you one extra step. Therefore, if your computer's hard drive already has Windows installed on it, you won't be able to install Mac OS X on there. By default, the Mac OS X installer will not work with hard drives that were originally formatted in Windows. You can install it on a hard drive that already has Windows installed. While the post-installation in Yosemite Zone isn't perfect (you'll probably have to use Multibeast anyways), it's still a nice convenience. Unibeast requires you to do this manually, using the Multibeast tool. By default, Yosemite Zone will automatically install necessary Hackintosh-specific kexts and drivers for your computer when you boot your Mac OS X installation for the first time. However, with Yosemite Zone, you can just set up everything from a Windows computer. This usually means that you either have to find a real Mac, or set up a Mac virtual machine.
Unibeast is a Mac app, so you need to have an existing Mac OS X installation for it to work. Using Yosemite Zone instead of Unibeast offers a far share of advantages- if you don't have any qualms with the legal issues regarding distros, they're actually the most convenient way to set up your Hackintosh: Yosemite Zone is essentially just a renamed version of the Niresh distro that we've covered previously on this website, except it has been updated to work with Apple's newest version of Mac OS X.
