No. Most Intel systems don't ship with AMT. Most Intel systems with AMT don't have it turned on.

- pritambaral 9y agoYour parent is correct. They aren't talking about AMT. They're talking about ME, which IS present in every Intel chip (since 2008-ish)
- lclarkmichalek 9y agoMy grandparent was talking about AMT. That's why the question was 'What is AMT?' I'll edit for clarity though.
