Err, the ME has been present on every Intel system since 2006 or so.

The only thing that changed with Skylake is that the ME runs on an x86 core, on previous processors the ME ran on some RISC microcontroller.

I think OP meant to say that you can disable ME in those CPUs, since they are pre-Skylale silicon.

Not just any RISC, but ARC, a descendant of the SNES's Super-FX chip

That’s not the only thing, but yeah I suppose you can get Skylake/Kabylake now with the HAP workaround.
