> a completely separate processor; think of it as a small CPU hidden next to the main CPU

Damn that seems a sneaky strategy by Intel, especially since they retain the master key. So are all these big chipset manufacturers selling chips with this massive backdoor that not many people know about? Scary stuff.

Thank you for sharing this! If you know of any beginner-friendly sources on this, I'd be grateful to see those.

Do non-US based chipmakers like Samsung have a similar systems in their chips?
