I guess if youre still running Windows 3.1 or 95 you might be a little upset - but these CPUs haven’t been manufactured in nearly 30 years.
They’ve been used in embedded systems until very recently. You can even still buy one.
You make a good point about embedded systems, but these chips were discontinued in 2007.
Just because you can still buy vacuum tubes, doesn’t mean you should.
The most powerful CPUs that most likely don’t have backdoors.
If there was a backdoor in, say, the original Pentium, do you not think someone would’ve found it by now?
I can’t judge that. I486 structures are bigger and less complex so that the risk should be much lower.
