Err, the ME has been present on every Intel system since 2006 or so.
The only thing that changed with Skylake is that the ME runs on an x86 core, on previous processors the ME ran on some RISC microcontroller.
- deno 9y agoThat’s not the only thing, but yeah I suppose you can get Skylake/Kabylake now with the HAP workaround.
- ChickeNES 9y agoNot just any RISC, but ARC, a descendant of the SNES's Super-FX chip
- m45t3r 9y agoI think OP meant to say that you can disable ME in those CPUs, since they are pre-Skylale silicon.
