It's not present because Macs don't have AMT.

There's been a plenty of Macs with vPRO CPUs. Unless Apple is getting custom CPUs or CPU firmware then it would seem that Macs do have AMT. No?

Enabling it is tremendously difficult though AFAIK.

It has to have the ME silicon and the AMT enabled firmware. According to Matthew Garrett, who I'd generally trust on this stuff, Apple hasn't ever shipped AMT-enabled firmware.

It's nice to see that for once it's a good thing that Apple hardly ever ships standard firmware and instead usually leaves out all the components and features they don't plan to use.

vPro isn't a CPU, it's a particular combination of CPU, PCH (southbridge), Intel NIC/WiFi, and AMT firmware. There's no evidence that Macs have AMT or vPro.

[apaprocki]

Well, Intel does a particularly bad job of explaining whether this exists. My MBP CPU is a Core(TM) i7-4850HQ, and Intel's ark site says it has vPro.

You're right about that. Intel's product lineup is a huge mishmash of optional features that no one understands and now it's going to bite them. (But not really, because what else are you going to buy? A Ryzen laptop?)
