    Interesting, hadn’t heard about these efforts yet. Curious to see how this will play out in the future.

    I knew there where hardware backdoors in “intel’s” processors. Now I see the situation is much worse : even Linus doesn’t really knows what those processors are doing (for some types of interruptions). I guess nobody in the public should rely on those processors anymore.
    Maybe “arm’s” are better ?

      Arm and Google Titan Chips are proven to be more secure, this is correct.
