What are your computer specs?

Well, this will be my final x86-based build for my personal use, unless AMD or Intel change their ways

And what exactly would this be?

I will assume you meant "And what exactly are the ways AMD or Intel would change your mind?" because I have no idea how to answer the original question. I commented earlier on in the post about IME (Intel Management Engine) and PSP (Platform Secure Processor), which are remote management firmware blobs that run on secondary processors within the CPU and chipsets, have access to network interfaces and are considered to be a huge security/privacy risk as a result. Intel has had this in everything since Nehalem, and AMD has had this in everything since Excavator, and neither company seems interested in reverting these developments so the build I have just completed is my final x86 build.

Now, on an unrelated note, I went for chip much older than even Steamroller, and the simple reason is that I couldn't get any of my Piledriver chips to work on my board for whatever reason. The upshot is that the 4180 is a true hexa-core, which AMD wouldn't produce again until Ryzen thanks to the Bulldozer experiment. Lisbon's architecture is similar to the one used in the Phenom II, and most software is probably better optimised for it than its immediate successors.

If this was an actual issue, then why isn't everyone up in arms about it then? Since you seem to be very "meticulous" about security, I assume you're either paranoid, or doing shady things.

The weight of an argument is not based on the number of voices it carries. Also, one does not have to be doing shady things to benefit from secure hardware and software. The latest privilege escalation vulnerability in IME (CVE-2017-5689) allowed keylogging from intruders, so they could monitor anything that was typed into affected machines. I don't think I need to elaborate on the ramifications of that symptom.

If I want to spend upwards of £1,000 on a performance workstation then I don't want it to be unusable in ten years if IME or PSP hardware becomes untouchable.

I've got a loaned Lenovo w520 with an i7 processor and a 500GB SATA hard drive that I use for everyday schoolwork. I used to have a 15-inch 2011 macbook pro (2.0 ghz i7, 480gb ssd, 16 gb ram; used, got it cheap) but I broke the CPU from overheating due to constant video rendering and large Photoshop files.

After years of yearning for a baller, I've finally got one...

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Mobo: ASRock AB350 Pro4
RAM: 1x8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 (will add another 8GB stick once prices come down)
GPU: Inno3D GTX 1060 3GB X2
SSD: 240GB WD Green SSD
HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda
Case: Phanteks P400 TG
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W

Not the most powerful thing in the world, but it's a yuuuuuuuuuge upgrade from my i3/GT 610 build that I had for the last four years. And it's perfect for my use case (1080p gaming and video editing).
