My favorite part is where the NSA itself basically admits that the ME

or if this HAP bit was enough for their needs?
By the way: Do AMD-boards have a similar mechanism of evil?
Yes it is called AMD-PSP and present in the newer stuff such as AM4 and
FM2+, although they did entertain the idea of providing a method to
disable it in a reddit thread which a PR guy claims the CEO paid
attention to so I suppose a corporate customer that purchases sufficient
volume could convince them to actually do it. much better than intel's
ignoring of the issue.
