LaGrande – Intel Provides Palladium Support

Intel also announced their LaGrande initiative which will bring hardware level security support that could work with Microsoft’s Palladium. There wasn’t much revealed about LaGrande (a codename for the forthcoming productized features) other than it will be implemented through a series of CPU and chipset extensions; this lead us to believe that some of Prescott’s new instructions could be LaGrande related but we have yet to confirm that.
