    Difference is that Intel’s Management engine can be controlled via the network whereas AMD’s platform security processor is local-only.

    The much bigger problem is Microsoft’s Pluton coprocessor, which they plan on making mandatory for using windows in the future.

      I didn’t know amd is local only, that’s amazing. Another huge reason to go for amd.

      And yeah, Pluton… I don’t use windows anymore and I encourage everyone to switch to Linux. But only a few people care about their privacy and not being tracked.

        It used to be a major pro-AMD reason for me too, but it’s become irrelevant since pluton. Weird thing is, pluton was announced with much fanfare for Ryzen 6000, but I’ve not heard about it since.
