Re:Notes on Intel Microcode Updates by acallan on Wednesday April 03, 2013 @10:30AM (#5486231)
A couple of things (I work for Intel, and do not speak for them):

-A ucode hack would be the ULTIMATE backdoor

-A ucode hack could damage or destroy (melt) the part. Think of things like thermal diode trim values, voltage, etc.

Intel had a billion-dollar lesson with recalls in the past, and the learning wasn't lost.
