According to the link, the firmwares are needed for HDMI audio,
which is
quite critical functionality. HDMI audio for older chipsets did not
require binary blobs, so this is kind of regression.
We should push back very hard against this. I was under the impression
that Intel was the open source CPU vendor. If we need binary blobs in
the OS to make new chips work properly, perhaps Fedora and Red Hat
should be heavily promoting AMD until Intel decides to change its ways.
(I am hoping AMD doesn't do this too. I have no idea.)
