If not, then there seems little justification to have a relatively new feature like this turned on by default. Who is this feature really for? If it's not for all users then why is activation mandatory in CPUs after Core2?
I mean, if ME has to be active, then the computer's owner should be able to use it, right?
- yuhong 10y agoI think it is intended for enterprises to enable.
- bhrgunatha 10y agoIf that's the case and enterprises ARE using it - why isn't it more widely known about? Even if the enterprise signs an NDA - I find it surprising that it hasn;t leaked given the security implications.
- yuhong 10y agoAFAIK Intel AMT is documented and has been since it was introduced in 2006.
- tmptmp 10y agoIt is intended for the "Intel defined enterprises" to be more precise. Ordinary Joe cannot declare him/her to be an enterprise and do so, unless he/she is willing to pay the Intel "thugs" an inordinate amount upfront.
- stephengillie 10y agoEnterprise console software is likely needed to interface with the chip. And this software is probably priced like most enterprise software.
- hrrsn 10y agoIt's marketed as Intel vPro. Pricing is probably typical enterprise level. This page has more details: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-active-management-technology.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-tech...
