Maybe I missed it in the article, but why is this only present on x86 chips? How do 64-bit processors from Intel offer the same management functionality without this ME subsystem?
- qb45 10y agoExcept for the Itanic (is this thing still made?), 64-bit processors from Intel are x86 ;) It's common to apply this label to x86-64 too, in other words.
- schlowmo 10y agoIn this case x86 means both 32bit x86 (also referred as IA-32) and x86_64. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Techno... "The Management Engine (ME) is an isolated and protected coprocessor, embedded as a non-optional part in all current (as of 2015) Intel chipsets."
