This is the kind of brazen backdoor which makes all other security moot. How can anyone depend on security if the cpu is backdoored and anyone can remote your machine irrespective of OS and even whether it is running? Given the sheer brazenness and scope I wonder why the security folks have been so muted, what can be more important this this? What ever the benefits of this backdoor for enterprises or any single group imposing it on all users makes it look like a fig leaf. The fact that it is done in consort with AMD and ARM can only lead to the conclusion it is some kind of a mandated NSA backdoor. There is a huge unresolved dichotomy now of 'democracies' with governments completely and singularly obsessed with their citizens' speech. Having hundreds of thousands of government employees working on monitoring citizens and doing things like backdooring CPUs is the furthest you can get from free societies. Infact it's the opposite.
