Re:Intel patches new ME vulnerabilities

The ME firmware lives on an SPI FLASH chip, on the motherboard. It can either be the same chip where the BIOS is stored or a separate one (which is often the case because two smaller chips cost less than one big one)

Actually you're right. Since most of the analysis on the ME FW was done after dumping the flash from the physically removed clip on the motherboard. That might have been more difficult with a chipset embedded one.
