This time it is their’s backdoor at least.
Intel AMT and AMD TrustZone were suspected as US intelligence backdoors for long time.
Countries like Russia prohibit use of foreign CPUs in any strategic and military application. I bet China doesn’t run Intel/AMD CPUs in government offices too.
- poilcn 8y agoIt's the US who puts sanctions on companies working with foreign military organizations and manufacturers. So, they can't freely buy chips for rockets, for example. But their PCs use Intel chips and Microsoft Windows OS. Microsoft opens their source codes to security services of different nations, including Russia and China. There are of course Linux distributions which are supposed to be used by army, but no one really uses them.
- lawnchair_larry 8y agoNobody who knows how AMT or TrustZone works thinks that they are a US intelligence backdoor. China runs Intel/AMD CPUs in government and so does Russia.
- chupasaurus 8y agoYou missed the part about "strategic and military use" for Russia, don't know well about chinese rules.
