". . .I rather doubt all these back doors are accidental."

From the article :
". . . manufacturer backdoors"

Right there at least some of them are fingered as having been left deliberately by AMD themselves. The question is, were incentives or threats used by US Intelligence to put those back doors in and if it's 'neither', then why did AMD put them into the design.

Neither since it is easy to insert a human asset into the design team. The real question is whether the US and Chinese intelligence cooperated on the back door so they could both use it, or whether one or the other did it alone.
