Frankly I don't think Intel's track record affords them the privilege of having good faith be assumed with something like this.

[Traster]

Intel employes 100,000 people, and most of them aren't even aware of most of Intel's transgressions, let alone approve of them.

It’s akin to defending Nazis because there were some Nazis who were forced to be Nazis because they couldn’t find a better job.

Intel doesn't have a track record of shipping back doors, or even "bad faith" software really.

Isn't their whole management engine essentially one big (poorly secured) backdoor?

[monitmitra]

It's essentially secured through obscurity. which I'm sure with this leak will lead to several CVEs over time...
