I really find it hard to believe that people for whom such an interest in security at the CPU level would buy "retail" processors like you and me have access to. I am no expert in the field but it just seems weird that there isn't a market for and producer of specialized processors that are more militarized or something. Why does everyone have access to the same Intel chips? I doubt that's actually the case. Am I wrong?
