It's not just Intel either: https://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/security Catering to low-level laziness at the expense of everyone who dares use these chips. There appears to be a niche market possibly emerging in Russia as a result of this kind of thing. http://russia-insider.com/en/technology/russias-next-generation-elbrus-8c-chips-be-ready-2016/ri7551 https://meduza.io/en/feature/2015/06/02/when-there-s-no-shame-in-made-in-russia Disclaimer: do not ignore the possibility of Russian backdoors. Still, it would be nice if they would ship it worldwide, we may even have OpenBSD/elbrus.
