Disabling the Intel Management Engine

The EU has one very strong negotiation point: ASML. Without that company, Intel wouldn't even be able to produce their CPUs.

It should be noted that ASML pretty much has an monopoly on the EUV Lithography market... At least that's what they said at the CYMER (Subsidiary of ASML) tour I went to recently. I'm not exactly sure about the DUV market, so I won't comment on it.

I'm not sure that's a negotiation point for Intel, as they own 15 percent of ASML. Might be a rough ride for everybody if the EU had any intention of playing that card.

But agreement specifically excludes rights on future development by ASML
