What would you expect from a company that puts a "tracking device" in their CPU's and then denies it? Until that is they were caught red handed and had to release a software tool that would turn off the device(Which by the way never really worked, the software tool that is.)

They haven't had it since 2000. Current CPUs have no electronic serial number.

Intel Nixes Chip-Tracking ID

[Post-Neolithic]

Thanks for the link, I knew about them stopping production on the chip just wasn't sure of the year. But it's just another of those things that Intel tries to sneak by the general public.

The first was their infamous Math chip bug, the CEO came out and said that the consumer would never know the difference and that they were not going to exchange chips. Needless to say the backlash was almost the end of Intel.

Which is why it's deleting of emails doesn't surprize me.
