Disabling ME is part of its functionality. You’re just not given the API to do it. To the best of my knowledge this functionality has been in there from the beginning.
- smolder 5y agoYeah, I would expect it was there from the beginning, it's just never exposed as user configurable on standard firmware. Being in there from the beginning doesn't really invalidate the claim by others it was requested by DoD or some agency therein. They are obviously a big client with leverage to have a say in chip features. Even if that part is made up, the off toggles existence still implies security concerns, since the coprocessor shouldn't have any effect on performance.
