Seems Cannon Lake might be slightly delayed, not that its of much interest to enthusiasts as it seems the first edition of Cannon Lake will be lower powered stuff aimed at Laptops etc.

Also interesting to note that Intel has said architectural updates are going the way of server chips first, which got me thinking they probably see Zen as a real threat.

People said the same about the stuff Snowden\Wikileaks published before they published it.

Its true, Intel Management Engine is effectively an OS that runs at a very low level below the OS on the CPU and has access to everything on the PC and can be accessed remotely. AMDs version is called Platform Security Processor. Both are effectively very low level backdoors.

Couldnt give a monkeys about these "Backdoor" things tbh, they dont infringe on my day to day life, i have absolutely zero to hide and if they manage to stop crazy morons blowing up innocent kids and stuff then im all for it.

Dunno why people get so hot over being "Spied" on etc, oh no im not using Win10 cos MS are spying on me, let me just sit infront of my Samsung TV with my Samsung mobile and browse facebook etc.

The amount of energy you must have to spend getting yourself "off the grid" by removing all the spyware functions on pretty much ANYTHING thats got an internet connection nowdays is mindboggling. Can think of many other ways i'd rather spend the time tbh lol
