Following up on a recent news article about Intel incorporating DRM into their processors; AMD has also jumped on the bandwagon and will do the same.
AMD announced that eight months ago, and more recently announced DRM would be incorporated into its new 2006 lineup. They call it "Presidio."
DRM is akin to a protocol used for eliminating unwanted copying of a licensed file and up to now has only been implemented through software means.
DRM implemented through hardware is nearly impossible to 'crack' (Save for the oh-so-many people that possess a $250 000 Logic Analyzer to determine how to crack it). Many of you may already be familiar with DRM being implemented in MP3's from online services such as Napster or iTunes.
People who want to rebel also lose since Apple, IBM (PowerPC), Sony(PS3, Cell), and Microsoft(XBox360, PowerPC) have already signed on. GG
