It does not even matter if they are actively malicious. They are closed, non-removable, with proven vulnerabilities (which not only CIA can use). What else do you need?

How do you know that the closed CPU microcode that all modern AMD and Intel CPU's use don't have backdoors and vulnerabilities?

I don't know that, but judging from the amount of code I would say it's less likely than in Intel ME.

How is that different from the Intel ones? Can they not be turned back on or injected again with a new ME?
