They have very little in common. The Clipper Chip was designed by the government to be used in phones in order to give people communications security—but not too much communications security against government entities—and to pre-empt and outcompete other cryptographic voice privacy solutions that people might want to adopt. The IME is designed by Intel to allow remote management of PCs. It creates risks of unauthorized access to those computers, including by increasing the attack surface outside of (one might say "beneath") ordinary operating system security features. I guess the parallel is that both are hardware-implemented device functionality that many users might not want and that could expose their data to risks they don't appreciate.
