Like I said, you need to go learn public key cryptography. Encryption is one use of keys, yes, but hardly the only one. There’s a LOT more to it than that, primarily around security and trusted binariesFor fucking what though? What exactly do we need encryption for?
Well see.Wait until Windows 12 when they no longer require TPM. It's going to happen. There will be consequences to not having TPM but it will happen.
ARM is an very capable architecture- at least with performance per watt. As we move to more and more cloud-native apps that require less ties to the underlying hardware, the difference between ARM and x86 will shrink. Again, especially in the enterprise.When you go ARM give me your 4790k. Will probably be more useful than any ARM device within the decade.
