Intel anti-cheat system in the works

Seems like a nice idea, as longs its OPTIONAL software that can be removed in the event it is a resource hog.

Assuming its software.

WOW, you can tell when the POS cheaters come out of the woodwork to make a comment.

Saying things such as "intel doesnt have the right to say if i cheat or not" kinda lame.. Intel can do whatever they want with their hardware.. afterall, they are making it. Truth be known, its probably the game companies giving them code to work with.. I assume the game companies dont have the right either? LOL

I dont cheat in any game i play. but i honestly dont think they have a right to say who can or cant cheat on their own computer... them uploading information from my computer(if im cheating) to a 3rd party seems like a violation right unless i give them permission

They have a right if it impacts others gameplay via network.

And if its hosted on company servers, chances are they have a lot of anti-cheating mechanisms already in place.

Noone cares about single player cheating.

The technology, as it is currently proposed has two parts, a communications component and a keyboard and mouse detection piece. It is envisioned that this would lie in the chipset or possibly the firmware, but the demo is strictly software. The game also needs to participate in the scheme in order for it all to work.

The concept is simple, the chipset records all input from the keyboard and mouse, and the game does the same. If the two don't match, something is giving inputs to the game that should not be, and you are 'cheating'. This is how most of the common hacks out there work.
