Intel's strategy has consistently been that they do not consider doing any kind of business unless they earn at least 25% margin on each sale.

There are two versions of MPK. One is only applicable to userspace pages. The other is newer and can be applied to kernel space pages; last time I checked, this was only available on newer Xeon processors.

By the way, MPK memory is not encrypted. The key is just an identifier for the requestor. If the requestor key doesn’t match the same identifier for the memory page, then an exception is raised.

Funnily enough, MPK isn’t new at all. It’s almost a reintroduction of a feature from Itanium.
