The enterprise models are getting patched but the consumer ones aren’t. Shame on them.
Consumer usage is not really concerned by the attack scenario of this vulnerability from what I understand. The prerequisite is to have access to the bios so it's already game over at this point.
Chip makes should not only treat customer CPUs as possibly-business hardware when adding shit like (Intel) ME, Pluton and (AMD) PSP, but also when patching serious vulnerabilities and providing support!
When you pay for enterprise equipment, you are typically paying a premium for longer, more robust support. Consumer products are less expensive because they don't get this support.
But they are already pretending for whatever reason that these are suitable for enterprises, by always includingthe aformentioned remote control components!
