Oh, great! Isn't there a way where intel could provide keys so we could get rid of IME even if it means we won't be able to play DRM'ed content?

IIRC IME also does a lot of core functionality like power regulation. Unlike many in this thread probably think, it does provide a lot of core functionality that you probably don't want removed.

Doubt the NSA would allow it, best option is RISCV if you don't want Intel's ring-3 backdoor.
