vPro is nothing but a collective name for various technologies such as VT-x, VT-d and primarily Active Management Technology (AMT); these can be part of the Management Engine's firmware depending on the package. Intel integrates their ME in *all* chipsets since 2006. Again: *every* CPU manufactured by Intel ships it since then. Integration, architecture and features have been changing immensly over time.
