Trusted execution platform eh? Sounds like a games console CPU requirement to me.

DRM DRM DRM all about DRM. those rich greedy b***ards. We will pay for the cost for something to limit our freedom.

I think drm has a place in a console.

Depends which chips see it first.

Implication of the AT article is that it's targeted at securing mobile devices and will hit the Brazos successor first, which wouldn't make it a good fit for a future console, and means that technology won't even be vaguely tested until 2013. If Sony do want this on the PS4, their chip will probably end up being the first to use it.
