My takeaway was that the industry attitude towards DRM in CPUs and GPUs has been the same “lock it down and obscure it”, and the reference to GPU contractual obligations was considered relevant based on the assumption that industry agreements for both CPU lockdown and GPU lockdown would be similar. It’s clear Intel is motivated to provide user lockouts on its critical regions, so it stands to reason they may have a contract similar to the known GPU contracts. I didn’t find it very conspiracy style. It seemed to me a well thought out and rational article. It reminded me of how Facebook can never truly “protect user data” because they build a business reliant on collecting and distributing user data.
