Why Chips Are Getting a Dedicated Security Co-Processor

Episode 50 of The Hardware Podcast dives into the rising trend of on-chip security cores — dedicated hardware engines that handle encryption, attestation, and key management separately from the main CPU. Lucas and Luna explore why Apple's Secure Enclave, Google's Titan M, and AMD's Platform Security Processor signal a fundamental shift in chip design. They unpack the numbers: a modern server chip can spend up to 10% of its transistor budget on security logic, and how that trade-off changes performance and power. Plus, a look at the open-source OpenTitan project and what it means for the future of trusted computing. If this conversation gave you something usable, the show runs on listener support. #SecurityCoProcessor #HardwareSecurity #SecureEnclave #TitanM #OpenTitan #ChipDesign #HardwareEngineering #TrustedComputing #AppleSilicon #AMD #Google #RootOfTrust #EncryptionHardware #Semiconductor #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HardwarePodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
