I'd be careful with assumptions on what "consumer hardware" means. There are desktops, NUC units, etc, that shipped with i5 and i7 chips that had vPro.

Even with the CPU, you also need the right chipset and the right firmware to actually light this stuff up. While especially in the laptop sector there are consumer devices that include this, it's far from universal.
