Well Security actually is a bad thing if it feels like "marshal law". Not letting end users modify their BIOS is pretty bad. EDIT: Especially since overclocking on linux effectively is impossible right now.

Security is not an inherently bad thing, especially for the pro work place where a stolen movie could be worth millions in revenue.

That's not the point unfortunately... if you want to be able to display certain classes of protected content (eg Netflix) then you are required to have a specific level security in hardware, whether it actually helps or not.
I'm just using Netflix as an example; I'm not sure the security processor is specifically required for it.Test signature

Intel is my pimp. I don't like Intel, their PSP is a binary blob.
But I am not going to change from one pimp to another.
So I am not going to switch from Intel to AMD when they use closed source binary blobs too.
Then I might as well stay with Intel, at least I know their CPU works and GPU and everything works on the same day as the processor is released with same-day launch support and source code already there in the kernel and Mesa since months ago ahead.

Really, I'd really like firmwares get some rounds of hardening against bullshit, overclocking can go to hell, it's little more than a game for kiddies nowadays anyway. True OC died decades ago.
