You dont have to trust this new processor, the important thing is that they are developing an alternative to the Intel/AMD duopoly on desktop and server CPUs. You might not be threatened by NSA backdoors, but there are many people and organizations who are.
I agree, more players on the market is good. I’m only saying that Chinese backdoors aren:'t any better and they will be there. If this helps any other open source efforts to make an open hardware, then great.
