Question this in regards to number of gates available / needed for secret malefactor vs gatecount timeline vs time at which govt agencies and corp might desire and begin to cooperate or independantly perform same. ie: Are your your 486 or p55c and chipsets likely to contain malware? What about your Skylake? Given how ATT / Verizon / Sprint and others totally rolled over for Bush/911 what makes you think Intel or AMD or Microsoft are any different? WTF is up with windows 10? As if 7 vista and xp and Ubuntu Linux weren't enough. search: AnandTech, Intel has now stopped quoting gatecount with Skylake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSAKEY
