Choice of architecture isn't the problem,
there are many arch, make tens more,
let them compete open market, no problem.

> Have there been any *clean sheet* architecture designs since the Snowden revelations?

However, ever since time the real big "clean sheet" has not
necessarily been something new HW, that is done every day,
but is moreso a new model, the never done before, a proper...

#OpenFabs , #OpenHW , #OpenSW , #OpenDev

... yet regardless of their deep understanding of how
fundamentally impactful and beneficial this will be to
the world (including the sub-world of computing itself),
everyone still stupidly refuses to even discuss how to
make that revolutionary clean move, let alone actually starting
one up for the relatively small amounts of $ needed to do it.

So, needlessly, till then, you will continue to get fucked.
Oh well, seems you thoroughly enjoy it, exploited time and again.
Perhaps that is the problem, you love it so, and know no better.
Laughably, you have entire segments and career paths of your
industry dedicated to secreting covering up propheting and comment
blocking your errors. Try learning and doing something actually
new and clean sheet for once.

> Clearly, Intel was spending so much time implementing backdoors "for management purposes" (wink, wink), that they didn't have time to work on protecting the poor lusers.

They're orthagonal, and lusers are of no concern,
otherwise they'd let them look at their complete #Open*,
but they don't. Not even profit is their love, because that
is #Open*ly available too, to the better of them. No, it's
control (over you) that is their love. Thus, you lose, every time.
