This is already known for more than 2 years now, but due to the nsa spying this "feature" is now seen from a different perspective.
So who of you, i3, i5 or i7 users, knew there is a second 3g network processor inside your cpu?
3g? Thats the technology inside your smartphone that allows you to access the internet anywhere, anytime. But why do you need that, you dont get any free internet or whatever?
Intel officially announced "AMT" 2011 as a huge security and maintenance improvement. You can turn your computer on and off, control and observe the cpu, even read and change system settings or access your hdd anywhere, and protect and restore it in case of theft. Your computer doesnt even need any network connection, as it all works with the wireless 3g technology. Just imagine theres a small phone inside your cpu, connected to the whole computer, that you (and anyone else with the connection data) can just call, ask it for information about the pc, or tell it to do whatever you like. In other words, whoever can connect to that chip got complete control over your computer, way more far reaching than any internet surveillance or any virus could ever reach.
This really sounds odd, doesnt it? If you believe this, 70% of all people in industry nations got access to the internet. Now pick out kids, old people, and those who dont use computers at all, basically everyone with a computer also got internet access these days (to pick a number lets say 95%). So incase people want remote control of their pc, they can do it via the internet without any limits, turning it on and off, and access to everything is absolutely possible.
Computer market, just like any market works, because it offers what people want and people need. Otherwise they wouldnt buy it, and the market would crash. Looking at the above stuff, intel created a multi-million-dollar technology, that max 5% of their customers need. And this is against all concepts of markets and marketing. If they sold a i7 version without that 3g chip, and a slightly more expensive version with that remote control chip, pretty sure noone would have bought the remote control cpu, because noone needs it. It would have been a giant fail.
But they didnt, they simply put it in every core-i cpu. And people buy these cpus because they are damn fast. This is just a giant fail, they spend millions for something that noone needs, and most people dont even know when buying a core-i.
For me, this just leaves two options. Either intel research & developement is a group of giant idiots, or someone else but the customers are actually paying for that remote control chip to compensate the developement costs. Open for discussion!
