Ilike opensource for that reason. I guess we have to take AMDs word for it only being a security chip to monitor mal code execution… At least with Intel we know it is a management OS fully capable of accessing network with machine powered off, and is a back way into the system where you can access screen, keystrokes etc. The security on it was bad and around 2017 allowed people passwordless login via a null password response.
There is also the fact that many linux users don’t want Intel Management Engine on their chip. Its a mini OS on the chip without opensource code.
