In its report, Intel said it addressed a total of 374 firmware, hardware and software vulnerabilities in 2024.



In addition, he compared the number of vulnerabilities reported by other companies, such as AMD and NVIDIA, to his own company, writing, 'AMD reported 58 firmware vulnerabilities, while Intel reported 52.' 'AMD only discovered 57% of the vulnerabilities, with the remaining 43% discovered by security researchers or ordinary people. In contrast, Intel discovered 94% of the vulnerabilities in-house.'



In particular, the report states that AMD reported 4.4 times as many vulnerabilities in firmware in the hardware

root of trust as Intel.



It also states, 'AMD has listed 78 vulnerabilities as 'No fix planned,' meaning that AMD does not have a solution. This is in contrast to Intel, which has mitigated or resolved all hardware root of trust vulnerabilities in all supported products.'

For GPUs, Intel reported only one 'high severity vulnerability,' while NVIDIA reported 18, 13 of which were high severity and could allow malicious actors to execute code on the PC.



Some believe that Intel's publication of this report criticizing other companies was an attempt to revive the company, which is lagging behind AMD in chip design and is in a slump due to instability issues with its 13th and 14th generation chips.
