I've just assumed this was the case for a long time. I'm sure AMD and Apple do the same. A few years back there was this thing I think called spectre where they found "accidental" backdoors in x86 chips. I took that as confirmation. The way I see it my door will be far from the first one knocked on anyways. Just one more thing that must be fixed when we are actually in charge.

Spectre IIRC was the justification used to implement heavier (and extremely resource intensive) security measures like core isolation.
I don't believe it has been resolved entirely without it, but I haven't checked into it in a very long time either.
