There is no reason to trust Intel less than any other silicon provider.


I don't agree. The biggest American semiconductor company. Backdoor guaranteed.


Which is why you trust AMD, a company that's headquartered a whopping 600 second drive away from Intel [0]. How is Intel's stuff backdoored, but AMD's stuff not?

I never said AMD silicon wasn't backdoored. Its a solid bet that it is. I don't trust either, but having a intel chipset and processor together on a edge router sounds like a bad idea to me.


So you don't run ANY intel products? That's quite an accomplishment.


That doesn't follow.
