I'm not sure I'd say it's better or worse. I think it's unnecessary. You only need like ~16 bytes of a random seed and your CSPRNG will run forever with unlimit

I'm not sure I'd say it's better or worse. I think it's unnecessary. You only need like ~16 bytes of a random seed and your CSPRNG will run forever with unlimited unpredictable stream of bits.
Intels instructions perform the same as a HWRNG only it's built in to every chipset >= Ivy bridge. I actually think Linux's rng-tools incorporates it as a mix automatically.
