Intel develops TianoCore on GitHub.
My next computer will be an Intel, it will not be an AMD.

AMD need to step up their game. Get rid of proprietary firmware and binary blobs, and make more open source and publish more documentation.

Actually, as far as I have seen, newer Intel systems supported by coreboot have more blobs, and Intel does not seem to want to remove them.

Are you aware that this is just the upstream used by UEFI firmware vendors? (Phoenix, American Megatrends, Insyde, and others, also technically by Coreboot)

You don't and can't know (well technically you can to some extent if you are a badass and can analyze them for bugs) what was the source they took, how many years it is outdated from upstream, and what changes they made to it.

Also, the Intel Management Engine, aka the Hardware Backdoor, does not use the firmware from that repository, its blobs are compiled in secret by Intel from secret source code developed in secrecy.

This is like saying you will buy PS4 because their upstream is FreeBSD which is opensource.

(and I'm not saying there is anything wrong in buying the PS4 per-se, it's just the reason that makes no sense)

Enjoy your Management Engine
