@gloriouscow Eh, it's arguable. Intel is the only chip maker for consumer and corporate devices that you can theoretically change the ENTIRE proprietary BIOS level programs (ex. Intel ME)

At the moment, MUCH older versions of the Intel ME can be fully removed. While all Intel ME images used in anything newer than the X200 Thinkpad, can only be neutered and reduced to a smaller more freedom respecting program, while keeping essential components for a full working boot.

While AMD has an equivalent but burned in chip ROM called AMD's Security Chip. Even though at a feature level, it is way less problematic for freedom compared to a turned on and working Intel ME, but it can't be removed or changed at all. It also makes using an alternative BIOS like Coreboot more difficult to use and get working.

I love AMD hardware, especially their GPUs just being friendly to Linux users. They're CPU's are also fantastic, but I like the idea of being able to disable the Intel ME region on nearly any given Intel machine.
