I don't know about Intel ME but AMD PSP is basically the equivalent of Apple's Secure Enclave, so there's that. | ||

You should probably do do some reading on the subject to gain a bit more understanding: > This puts [Apple Silicon Macs] somewhere between x86 PCs and a libre-first system like the Talos II in terms of freedom to replace firmware and boot components; while a number of blobs are required in order to boot the system, none of those have the ability to take over the OS or compromise it post-boot (unlike, say, Intel ME and AMD PSP on recent systems, or the DMA-capable chips on the LPC bus running opaque blobs that exist on even old ThinkPads). https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/introduction/ The Secure Enclave is equivalent to a PC's TPM (a TPM is now required to run Windows) not any form of a management engine. | ||
