This leaves a bad taste in my mouth, as it feels potentially quite predatory.
I think this will almost certainly be used to either kill second hand processor sales (by either burning the processor to a given motherboard), or to allow Intel to double dip post sale, much like EA’s “project ten dollar” did with used video games.

If they already plan to lock us out of working hardware, you can be damn sure they plan to charge us for those same features every time that chip is resold. Seriously, does anyone believe otherwise? This is straight out of the rent-seeking playbook.
