Thank you all who have signed the Intel ME-less petition to show Intel that there is enough interest in having Intel based CPUs that do not require the Management Engine to operate. We have already exceeded our goal of signatures nearly a month early!

Our next step, in this long journey, is to provide the petition results to our Account Manager within Intel, and to follow-up with them on future versions of the CPU. This petition also allows us to pursue ME disablement approaches with Intel as well, so we are using it for multiple paths to reaching the long-term goal of a freed BIOS/UEFI/Coreboot.
