Intel’s LaGrande security technology not coming to consumer PCs

No LaGrande security technology for us! Looks as if the consumer level stuff is being left behind on this boat. Is this a bad thing and should we even care? You be the judge…

The Core buzz presented during IDF blurred several other important announcements - including the long awaited release of the LaGrande security spec. The creator of the spec told TG Daily that La Grande won’t be hitting home computers in the near future - as it remains a developing platform that could cause privacy concerns.

If it wasn’t directly related to the Core Microarchitecture, it wasn’t a big deal at IDF this week. The UMPC, touted back at the Fall IDF in 2005 as a major milestone for mobile computers, got about two minutes in Sean Maloney’s keynote; LaGrande, yet another member of the “*T’s,” as Intel calls its platform technologies such as 64-bit extensions (EMT), virtualization (VT) and active management (AMT), was worth about two sentences in Pat Gelsinger’s keynote.
