>Not quite correct; the OpenSPARC T1 and T2 were publicly released and available by 2008.
Points for mentioning this! But things have come a long way since 2008. You can get Intel ME-less machines from the 2008 era. Not sure if OpenSPARC T2 has any management cores.
>The maintainers of the me_cleaner script likely have the clearest view of what is known.
Yep, absolutely. Much of what we know is thanks to the efforts of researchers like these. See also the talks on finding the 'Red Unlock' mode of modern Intel CPUs.
