The GPU, not the TPM, is the root of hardware DRM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

really, unless it's a Precursor-style open chip and able to be verified by the consumer that it hasn't been tampered with, then we're already putting an awful lot of faith in the primary CPUs in our systems, anyway
there's also so much mistrust of TPMs that every verified damage wrought by them ought to be very well documented by now
TPMs are certainly worthy of our vigilance, but it seems like we should be spending more energy pestering CPU and GPU vendors for better behaviour
