  That's not anything different from the described HAP bit and removal of unneeded modules. You still have 10% of the ME left and required to boot, on top of the BSP, which is also 'secret'.

    Yep, we need new silicon designs, new fabs, and a new corporate structure that isn't as susceptible to this type of corruption.

      Well, according to the linked post to Phoronix, the POWER9 architecture is not produced for OEM PC market requirements so it doesn't have do oblige Hollywood non-negotiable DRM requirements. Did I understood right? Until now I thought the only option was using pre 2008 Intel (and same era AMD?) CPUs or some Atom models...

        And then there is some ARM and RISC-V, those could become viable.
