fTPMs have been standard for a few years now. As I understand it, this Pluton thing is mostly about having a fully "hardware" TPM inside the SoC instead of a "firmware" one.


It's a mix. The keystore is apparently in hardware but there is Pluton firmware to manage it.


Yes, of course management firmware is everywhere. Having keys in special memory that is literally only connected to fixed-function crypto HW blocks is what makes something a "hardware" security thing.
