Anyone have experience using BitLocker with a firmware TPM?
I am in the process of gathering all the parts for a new computer build. This build is going to be based upon an Intel i9-11900K CPU.
Before anyone jumps on me for my decision to go Intel rather than AMD, I'll simply say that I have some very specific reasons for going that route.
My understanding is that this CPU includes a firmware TPM. It is also my understanding that some current AMD CPUs also include a firmware TPM.
Does anyone have any experience in using a firmware TPM? The motherboard that I will be using includes a connector to attach a TPM module, but I'm just wondering if anyone has used a firmware based TPM. Is this something that Windows can currently use? If so, is it completely transparent to the user where operations are identical to having a physical TPM? Any advantage to using a physical TPM over the firmware TPM?
