Intel Management Engine question

i’ve read what you wrote about it, and i already know this privacy issue
i’ve read somewhere this technology is avalaible only if vPro is on CPU, so theoretically if vPro is not on cpu this “feature” is not enabled, could you confirm this? or this info is not true?

FreeSpirit, Todd already explained this here:

Various subpages of the new “Why Purism?” section on the website cover the Intel ME and AMT question, specifically this one: https://puri.sm/learn/avoiding-intel-amt/ which is the most practical and simple page to understand on the subject (work is ongoing to improve the other ones to at least match this level of quality).
