Well, guess my next build in 5-10 years won't be using AMD. Shame, cause my current rig is doing just fine even with parts that were already a year or two out of date when I got them
Intel and Qualcomm are integrating it, too.
Best choice would probably to upgrade to the last processor that doesn't have it and hope it lasts long enough for this shit to die.
Mentioning diminishing returns, I think the main reason MS and the x86 CPU manufacturers are all getting in bed with this stuff. They can call it security, protection, or whatever but it's to keep people buying their stuff. Everything in my main computer dates back to about 2013 and for non-gaming stuff it's totally fine to the point I can't imagine spending a dollar to upgrade it anytime soon.
But of course Windows 11 won't be supported, then next some other software. Websites maybe at some point even? Who knows.
