If only Microsoft required a second prossesor like some sort of module just for encrypting and decrypting things without using additional CPU cycles... What if we also stored the encryption keys on that module so we could trust that platform...
Honestly I'm pissed that even if I switch OS I'm probably going to be paying more for CPUs from now on to account for microsofts blatant abuse of a monopoly.
How old of a system are you running because TPM have been included on CPUs since at least 2009. Microsoft requiring something already built into modern CPU isn't the reason why CPUs cost more now.
The version that windows requires does not matter as I was making the point that we've been dedicating silicon for TPM for a pretty long time now and that there's no corelation between Microsoft's requirements and the recent CPU cost increase.
-quite literally the book on Trusted Platform Module.
