Actually there seem to be some hardware differences between TCPA and Palladium. TCPA relies on a TPM, while Palladium uses some kind of new CPU mode. Palladium also includes some secure memory, a concept which does not exist in TCPA.
This is correct. Palladium has "ring -1", and memory that is only accessible to ring -1 (or I/O initiated by ring -1).
