I don't know why, but your post made me question if TPM 2.0 expansions outside the processor are a thing. Turns out they are as long as your board supports them. I was just able to get one for mine for $25.

If you have 8th gen intel or ryzen 3000 series (maybe 2k but not 1k) emulation is built into the CPU so you don't need it.

I still have a 4th Gen devil's canyon in my main pc. It still outperforms most current gen chips apparently, so I plan on running it til it burns the house down.

Yep, before I upgraded recently, my motherboard had a port for TPM, but it was only able to support TPM 1.0, so it was still SOL.

Old box is now running Linux and a handful of network services.
