I think the word 'backdoor' is a misnomer. In reality, its probably how the CPU is organized. And when, certain strings of command are activated, it create a temporary error in the RAM, which create a corruption that can be otherwise exploited. And if you already know the underlying architecture, then you will know which section of the corruption to exploit.

There is no corruption -
the CPU is following its instruction set -

the point is that the full instruction set is not published.

In an interesting story covered by the Australian Financial Review it is revealed that experts think the NSA has hardware level backdoors built into Intel and AMD processors. Steve Blank, recognised as one of Silicon Valleys leading experts, says that he would be extremely surprised if the American NSA does not have backdoors built into Intel and AMD chips. His reason is that the NSA finds “hacking” through backdoors significantly more simple than trying to crack encryption. For example trying to crack AES 256 bit encryption would require the power of 10 million suns to crack at the current TDP of processors. Steve Blank therefore claims that because cracking encryption is so infeasible the NSA uses hardware level backdoors instead. Steve Blank said that these suspicions arose when he saw the NSA could access Microsoft emails in their pre-encryption state and so he knew there was another way in.

Yes and that was 11 years ago -

Intel and AMD are silent.
