Sandy Bridge och inbyggt DRM

Ta av foliehatten, det är en skitartikel helt utan innehåll med en aftonbladet-rubrik.

Oavsett om det är inbyggd TPM eller HDCP spelar det ingen roll.

En ganska kvalificerad gissning är att det påverkar dig lika mycket som att vissa företag sätter TPM-kretsar på sina moderkort... (dvs inte alls).

Det är ingen "skitartikel", här är deras egen reklam:

Det har inget med saken och göra då det handlar om DRM.

"provides hardware protection, rather than software protection"

Men svaren kommer kanske på CES om några dagar, kan vara ett troll...

Enligt Reuter skall Sandy Bridge-datorer kunna ta emot streamade filmer med hårdvarulås:

Det verkar bli att köra AMD hädanefter. Läste precis en post om detta och sedan försökte jag följa länkarna. Två av artiklarna var borta varav den ena på intels egna hemsida.

" It turns out that Intel's new Sandy Bridge CPU contains a new "feature" called 'Intel Insider' which essentially is Digital Rights Management (DRM) built right into the chip. They struck a deal with Hollywood, to make it so streaming movies can be "safely" delivered to your PC. There's quite a bit of controversy going around on the Internet about this new CPU. In my opinion, DRM in any product is a very bad thing because it treats the owner of the product as the enemy and can lock one out even when trying to do something entirely legitimately. For example, good luck running full HD to a CRT monitor due to HDCP. We all know that Intel Insider will eventually (or maybe instantly) be cracked, but the ideology of big brother right in your CPU is there.

Intel is trying to spin it the best they can (that Sandy Bridge doesn't contain any DRM), but the majority in the wild are disagreeing. It won't look like I'll be buying any Intel products anytime soon. I'm waiting for AMD's Bulldozer, but it's too soon to tell if it too will contain a similar feature.

You'll notice that on the Intel blog, the Intel Insider feature attracted so many negative comments, the blog's auther stopped allowing any further comments to be added. Check these articles/forums if you want to find out more:
