Re: I'm not even surprised.

The latest (next release?) AMD chips/memory controllers will allow real time memory encryption. This may help future devices. As you would need to also gain that key (or reverse engineer some method of "guessing" it). This would, I assume, mean each bit will have different power draws each boot as it will be given a different method of encoding each time.
