Cool. R.I.P. #x86 then?
The #Intel processors are screwed unless you go 12th gen.
The #AMD processors are perpetually vulnerable to any kernel code attacking System Management Mode, and are probably not patchable. Windows is right out the door on these because bunches of games have vulnerable kernel anti-cheat drivers that can readily be attacked to install a rootkit.
Guess the M4 Macs can't come soon enough.
