Intel has created a processor that allows someone to go in and screw around with the microcode on my CPU without me knowing about it. If it allows "IT managers to install security patches even if the device is turned off" sounds like it could also allow "Hackers to install malware at the microcode level whenever they want." I hope they are planning on providing some manner in which to disable this capability. Oh lovely!
