> Is this different from Intel ME processors with their "hidden" Sparc core?
Minor quibble: The IME is not Sun's SPARC architecture, it's ARC International's ARC, the Argonaut RISC Core, which has its origins in (of all things) the Super Nintendo's SuperFX chip.

Is this what I've got in my Lenovo X1 with vPro? The Ctrl+P shortcut to get into the config at boot doesn't work - can I poke at it any other way?
