This seems pretty horrible. You buy a chip, but now need some kind of license number or private key to enable all the instructions? Are the instructions for all VMs you run on the chip? Will Intel force you to pay per VM that uses hardware virtualization?
I hope AMD doesn't go this route; more reason to buy EPYC.
