https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Intel-Rocket-Lake-S-VideoCardz.jpg Here's my pet theory: Backporting the 10nm architecture on 14nm by design having less transistors for the same feature set imply to make cuts. Dropping SGX support might have saved a few transistors. If that is the real reason, then please publicize that SGX support will come back on 10nm Intel cpus. It's sad to make the x86 platform less expressive/powerful/secure
