    Yeah I don’t get why you’d want that unless someone not only had physical access to your device but was unable to extract data through any far easier ways. The only use case I can think of is in enterprise.

    Then again, I’m just going off my complete inability to conceptualize how memory encryption might be useful in consumer CPU’s.

      If I had my way, everyone’s drives and ram and whatever would be encrypted from top to bottom with extremely strong keys that only the user had access to. Nobody needs to have access to your stuff except you, and it doesnt matter if you are the most law-abiding citizen in the world who does nothing but eat bread and read the news paper every day, your privacy is sanctamount (whether you agree with this or not). Medical records, bank statements, tax records, private journals, etc. are just a few examples of data that mundane people with “nothing to hide” deserve to have protected to the nines.
