Since it is now an intel, does it come with an integrated backdoor like the other "server-grade" hardware?

To be fair, AMD also has that "integrated backdoor" for the sake of argument, called Platform Security Processor, sharing acronym with extremely popular game console just like Intel ME does with extremely often mentioned Input Method Editor(s).

Why the downvotes? It's a legitimate question: ME/AMT can be neutralized or disabled.

Bios can be replaced with coreboot.

Some buyers and some vendors actually care about security.

It's x86, so if you count ME/PSP as a back door, then the answer is almost universally going to be yes. It would be like commenting on the new release of Ubuntu and asking if it was still using a Bourne-like shell by default.
