@banshee@woof.tech I never said anything about privacy. This is about the freedom to know and control what your computer does. But I don't doubt that there are probably also privacy issues with modern CPUs that have Intel ME firmware or AMD PSP firmware integrated in them.

The cut off for Intel is the i-series CPUs (i3, i5, i7, etc.) and for AMD the cut off is after the Bulldozer architecture.

With many Core2Duo and Bulldozer CPUs you can replace the BIOS/EUFI firmware with GNU Boot, giving you as the user freedom over the firmware that runs on the motherboard.
