Dear Rupert, It is well-documented that the ME hardware is built in to all Intel hardware since 2006.
This may not include the "enterprise" AMT offering (hence lack of "vPro" branding), which is just a module that runs on the ME hardware. To clarify: the "vPro" branding and the Intel ME hardware (and base firmware that runs on it) are not tied together. This page gathers some information: https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/wiki/How-does-it-work%3F Just going by the Intel page on the recent horror-show vulnerability, we see that Intel Atom C3xxx processors are indeed affected: https://security-center.intel.com/advisory.aspx?intelid=intel-sa-00086&languageid=en-fr You should make up your own mind (I think the new Intel hardware is pretty neat in many respects, actually). Maybe you should consider running the (above) me_cleaner tool, as that is thought to remove much of the network stack. All the best, Duncan Rupert Gallagher: > Do you have any reference on Intel M.E. being present on Atom C3308? > > Sent from ProtonMail Mobile >
