> Power as only unbackdoored modern CPU Can you provide more details/proof?

  I think they are referring to it not having Intel ME or TrustZone (which is present in AMD chips and ARM chips), which could allow the processor manufacturer to run code that you don't know about. Of course, there's no Power systems for consumer use, so we're kind of stuck with Intel/AMD (until Apple releases those ARM Macs, which probably can't boot linux :( ).

    Raptor Computing Systems makes the Talos II and Blackbird, both with POWER9 CPUs and available for purchase by consumers today.
