Sorry for digging out this old thread, but I can't seem to find
supporting evidence for this, at least described in a in-your-face
way..

Can we determine whether the RNG generates pseudo-random numbers based
on a version number, or some other register? Would RNGv3.0 be a good
check?

I see that today we describe kodiak and talos marked as having a TRNG,
but they're much much older than 8450..
