ntel ME, which stands for Intel Management Engine, is a hardware-based firmware technology that is built into Intel chipsets. It is designed to provide remote management capabilities for Intel-based computer systems. The Intel ME is present in various Intel processors, including those used in desktops, laptops, and servers.
The Intel ME runs on its own microprocessor embedded within the chipset, separate from the main CPU. It has its own operating system, network stack, and various other components. The primary purpose of the Intel ME is to enable remote management, monitoring, and control of a computer system, even when the system is powered off or the operating system is not running.
