What's truly hilarious about this is that this EULA can't possibly serve any purpose... since Intel microcode blobs are RSA encrypted and signed. Only Intel CPUs can decrypt and consume them, and they can't be modified. It's not like it can be reverse engineered. I have to wonder what exactly Intel is worried people will do with these blobs.
- trebligdivad 8y agoUnless that is you suddenly found a way to read the decrypted microcode - perhaps out of the cache after a decode??
- craftyguy 8y agoWhat makes you think the microcode patch is decrypted to cache at all? (Hint: it's not)
