There are different implementations of the TPM spec. Both Intel and AMD have CPU-based versions in more recent models; for AMD, this is called fTPM. It's also possible to have a discrete TPM module, which a bunch of motherboards include a header for. The rush to buy modules is uninformed; probably a lot of those systems could just enable the CPU-based TPM in their BIOS. I don't remember when Intel added it (5 years ago?) and don't know if they added it for all CPU models or just some. I think AMD added their fTPM when they introduced socket AM4 (almost 5 years ago). I think the advantage of a discrete and socketed module would be that you can take it with you; either literally (unplug it when you leave the house for example) or just when you replace the motherboard. -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
