Did intel know about this back in July 2016?
The tool supplied by Intel has a PDF "user's guide".
The PDF's title field has a value of "Kaby Lake Platform Message of the Week WW30, 2016".
This makes me think that either the people at Intel are just bad at creating PDF documents, or else Intel knew about this and prepared the tool in the final week of July 2016. And then sat on it until it felt forced to come clean(ish).
