Do I need to be the US Military for that?
Intel ME is not a feature for user, it is intended to control any modern CPU except the ones coming to US Army/Navy. It is needed to make Stuxnet-class attacks. The latest chip with possibiliy to have the ME provenly disabled is the 3rd gen.
Purism sells a Comet Lake box with the ME disabled (or so they say).
Many ARM vendors sell powerful arm computers without any ME-analog on board.
> It is needed to make Stuxnet-class attacks.
I have issues with the presence of the ME and I think we agree on a lot of things, but this statement is lunacy lol
So, there is no any fresh x86 processor without that shite. I have no devices with ARM so I have nothing to say about the latter.
