Do Ryzen chips have this?
- filoleg 9y agoLuckily no.
- turblety 9y ago@filoleg unfortunately you are wrong. AMD has equally invasive technology called PSP (Platform Security Processor). "The PSP is a universal computer with it's own CPU, RAM, ROM, clock etc, that can run whatever software AMD wants it to run, hidden from the user. It could load software anytime without you even noticing. AMD controls the PSP by using unique cryptographic keys which are burnt into each PSP." - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13781408 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13781408 You get all that for free with every new AMD processor, including their new Ryzen chip.
- krakensden 9y agoAMD has a different but equivalent thing called PSP, or "platform security processor", which is ARM's TrustZone.
- bigbugbag 9y agoRead about Palladium and Trusted computing, basically every CPU from intel and AMD have had this or a similar feature for several years. I'm not sure about ARM.
