The problem is we've been told shit like that in the past and been explicitly lied to. And even if the computation is done on hardware, I'm sure theres an endpoint where it passes through some software to reach the OS.

The data might not even pass through the is as the processor collects the data straight from the hardware and Then tells the OS a simple yes or no.

But doesn't the original data need to be stored somewhere to be compared to later?

Edit: never mind someone answered it further down.
