Some interesting news, regarding a newer intel processor,

I had thought intel wouldn't even think of doing this...

Is this because amd has released open source firmware for their newer graphics cards?

Or is there some other reason?

I would say I think it is the first option.

Dunno if I trust intel, amd or even arm, but till something more open source is both lightweight and can as good as its competition or at least half as good, I probably will keep an eye out.

I am more likely to go with arm out of the three though if things move in the right direction though.

Either way, personal thoughts aside, this is the title within that link:

Intel Publishes Open-Source Firmware for Cortex-M7 in Elkhart Lake CPUs

Btw, I don't know if there is any other weird blackbox code crap in there that is like the intel me, or worse...

I guess it depends on what coreboot devs do in the future, etc
