But ME is everywhere.
- qb45 9y agoME is not a "management feature", it's a general purpose auxiliary CPU used to implement management features and also "consumer features" like DRM. Whether you like it or not, ME is not relevant to the fact that yes, the AMT was developed because some customers actually use it.
- beagle3 9y agoThat very well may be, but you are the only one talking about AMT, and I still can't get a CPU without an undocumented privileged CPU thrown in. If I had a choice, I would not get ME
- qb45 9y agoThe whole thread started with somebody asking whether Intel management features are of any use: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14668965 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14668965 To which you responded that Intel wouldn't be selling them if customers had a choice to which I responded that they absolutely would.
