Intel 11th Gen Intel Core vPro CPUs with support for the Hardware Shield and TDT features will be able to detect ransomware attacks at the hardware level, many layers below antivirus software.

This is bullshit or the CPU can now detect and potentially block software that is running on it that Intel considers malware.
