The CPUs and OSs (other than Windows 11) support operation without any TPM. So either the pin is configurable, or you've wasted a pin that could otherwise be used for decorating the motherboard with RGB LEDs. Also, the pin layout has to be standardized by the socket specification (eg "LGA 2011"), which may have to retain compatibility for a decade or more. This strongly favors defining reconfigurable over fixed-function pins. |
