Does TPM and secure boot mean the same processors that windows 11 needs?

No. There are 2 ways to get TPM. The TPM Chip and the eTPM built into most modern CPU’s. There were CPU’s that met the SecureBoot/TPM features for Win 11 buy failed in other respects so it would say the CPU failed. Also for CPU’s that did fail the TPM check, you can get the TPM Chip on a module for your motherboard. But that is only if you are OK with TPM/SecureBoot because there are a myriad of reasons like when active it can be fingerprinted to defeat your anonymity when using VPNs and it can be used to track you. Also they have been several severe exploits found in TPM and SecureBoot because the code is not maintained as often as it is supposed to be to be kept secure.
It is one of the key reasons I am on Linux right now and I plan Windows 10 to be my last Windows PC build as a daily driver. I am not enabling that Microsoft BS on my Linux PC to play a game.
