Actually, debatable, supposedly gen 10 intel processors can even have intel me disabled and coreboot put on.

The only catch being, not all intel processors allow this and as an obvious, boot guard is a huge thorn in the way.

I should however also mention, hap bit has to be an option to disable with to even allow the intel me to be disabled, let alone anything more.

There is a reason I am pondering a future of ditching intel computers for the foreseeable future...

This being said, only vendors like system76, nitrokey and similar, have the desire to coreboot newer devices without intel me's remote functionality enabled.

I will clarify, intel me being disabled, when I say this, I mean the remote stack and not the really dangerous parts underneath. If you are curious about my sources, supposedly there is a few intel 4th gen laptops that can have intel me disabled and coreboot installed on. I know of someone who sells such a build. However anything beyond intel gen 3 especially, is a huge "hit or miss" situation.
