Are there not reasonable ARM options?
There seem to be ARM tablets that run Android decently. I mean, they're not a replacement for a monster desktop PC, but I'd think that they could take over a lot of your day-to-day (non-gaming/engineering/etc) needs. If there was an iPad with a Surface style physically connected keyboard, that would be my bet for most secure computer. (Wirelessly connected keyboards have issues, though.)
I'm hoping to see more out of the Zynq SoCs, but who knows if Xilinx has a backdoor. (Though, it's partially mitigated if you have an appropriate circuit around it -- and they definitely do make some secure components.)
- bsder 9y agoARM TrustZone stuff is just beginning to hit processors: http://www.arm.com/products/security-on-arm/trustzone http://www.arm.com/products/security-on-arm/trustzone The problem is that it hasn't been that well vetted yet. It's likely that there will be plenty of bugs in it to exploit for while.
