Right, every (x86) CPU sold since 2008 is already backdoored by the US. Honestly as US citizen who will never go to China, I'd rather be backdoored by China, since they can't throw me in jail, seize all my assets, or generally ruin my life nearly as easily as the US could for breaking some future law.

AMD FX line don't have IME or something similar.

Can you backup that claim?

I found this article that talks about what processor lines have the AMD PSP. https://freundschafter.com/cybersecurity-cpu-and-system-alte...

> After all this research we definitely found the latest AMD CPUs which do not include any PSP functionality. According to a table from CPU World we know now that these CPUs are those we searched for:

Desktop CPUs (Socket FM2):

    AMD A4-6320
    AMD A4-6320B
    AMD A4-7300
    AMD A4 PRO-7300B
    AMD A6-6420B
    AMD A6-6420K
    AMD A8-6600K
    AMD A10-6800B
    AMD A10-6800K
    AMD Athlon X2 370K
    AMD Athlon X4 760K
    AMD FX-670K
    AMD Sempron X2 250

Notebook CPUs (Socket FP2, FS1):

    AMD A4-5150M
    AMD A6-5350M
    AMD A6-5357M
    AMD A8-5550M
    AMD A8-5557M
    AMD A10-5750M
    AMD A10-5757M

x86 and its descendants are a no-go for me because of that. Neither Intel nor AMD are willing to produce x86 chips where the end user has full access to the highest privilege levels.

VISA is pretty interesting too.
