If I read that right, they're allowing Intel ME, which sounds like a sad compromise to me. Given that it's a pretty big complex black box that one can't easily disable, would you agree that x86 is doomed when it comes to security? If that's the case, is there any hope we could have a CPU with competitive capabilities? (For example, is there an i7 alternative for ARM?)

What could one do to make it possible to have ME-less x86 in the future?

You could contact AMD and show support for open sourcing PSP (their ME equivalent) or having an option to disable it. There is hope: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/5xvn4i/update_corebo...
