Dear Stefan, Alex,
Thank you for your response and information provided.
Indeed open source BIOS would not be less secure than proprietary BIOS,
even quite the opposite is what I would expect.
Basically what I am wondering is, are there any security benefits from
using older generation (perhaps 3rd gen) Intel CPUs rather than newer
hardware?
Currently I am using old hardware but I do miss having the latest
performance capabilities at disposal.
Any thoughts on this?
Intel ME can be removed more thoroughly from older generations; see
https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner. Security benefits of doing so
depend on your threat model.
