i hope we get an update soon. if we get coreboot AND a removal of intel ME or amd PSP theres nothing i can think of holding it back.

iirc there was a different thread about intel me where someone mentioned it being baked into the silicon

It is, but as far as I understand, you can disable some of it depending on your coreboot/libreboot setup.

Coreboot is open source, but when you build the rom for your machine, you have to pack in closed source blobs for Intel me, and any other proprietary parts of the chip.

I'm not up to date on current happenings with libreboot, but the goal there was to get it working 100% open source, without closed source blobs.
