Can anyone with technical knowledge (or knowledge of the functions of SecureBlue)comment on the statements below from Snackman's post. Is it a potential better mousetrap than the TPM, or are there limitations as to what it can or can't do in comparison with what Wave brings to the table?

"IBM's approach differs from that of Intel Corp's LaGrande, for example, which requires a separate chip with encryption to protect against software attacks. LaGrande allows for connection of a chip called the trusted platform module (TPM) via a bus.

SecureBlue is claimed to be stronger than TPM because the encryption functions are integrated into the central processor's functions".

Thanks,
