That's to get it installed, not if it's already there.

It's not going to be there because if you're compromised via physical access, no one is going to give a shit about this exploit.... it's like someone having the keys to your house and then being worried they're going to smash out a window to gain access.

I don't think you're following along here. The physical access would have already happened prior to the CPU even being in my possession.

I see what you're saying. You're assuming someone grabbed a bunch of cpus, fucked with them, then tossed them back into the box and sold them as new.

Exactly, if I were a bad actor with access to the stock that's what I'd do. I'm sure there are multiple points along the supply chain where it could potentially happen.

That's true, seems like you'd need to know where they're going though, like a ton of work just to hopefully get one machine infected that has anything on it.
