Re: AMD?

Oh, it's worse than that. Remember the "Intel Upgrade Service" from back in 2010? Seems AMD brought it back; and I quote:

"The PSP is capable of "locking" additional processor features"

From https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2014-August/078489.html

Also found the same general claim elsewhere online, but like all things ME/PSP related it's generally shrouded in mystery and myth....
