Consumer usage is not really concerned by the attack scenario of this vulnerability from what I understand. The prerequisite is to have access to the bios so it’s already game over at this point.
Chip makes should not only treat customer CPUs as possibly-business hardware when adding shit like (Intel) ME, Pluton and (AMD) PSP, but also when patching serious vulnerabilities and providing support!
The enterprise models are getting patched but the consumer ones aren’t. Shame on them.
I like my eBay “business” class machines
Any news on the “pro” line? They were installed on business PCs and had additional security features built in. For instance there is a 3600 pro model.

Sure, but that feels a little bit like saying “We don’t need guards inside the prison, because we already have them patrolling around the perimeter.”
