I've heard rumors that AMD is considering official support for Coreboot on their new chips as well as releasing the source code (and possibly keys) to the PSP micro-controller, or at least a way to disable it. The best we have on Intel after the Core2 Duo is ME Cleaner which partially de-blobs and neutralizes the management engine. If AMD does this, they'll make shitloads of money off of an untapped market of companies and people who are security conscious and want the power of a modern computer.

If AMD doesn't do this, their latest CPUs will be shit like all the others.

would be nice but

>hey'll make shitloads of money off of an untapped market
The market is smaller than you might think.
People with enough money to make the difference don't give a shit.

You're wrong. If the PSP can be disabled by changing a single BIOS setting, then anything with those chips will sell like hotcakes. Everyone from journalists to pedophiles will be drooling over it. There are millions of people out there that would buy these for the added security.

I really wished you were right anon, but still, only a rumour.

If I were to upgrade such feature would be probably the best selling point for me personally. Hell I would be ready to accept massive performance hit without hestitation.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it.

Any good sources or links to read about PSP microcontrollers and proprietary code? I don't really know where to start.

There are literally 5 threads about this.

desu I don't know if it's a "good source" but /g/ and freetards takes libreboot seriously. I mean... she talks like all modern computers are doomed.
