For a system to be affected, both chipset and CPU have to support vPro. For example, a PC with Core i7-7700 CPU and H270 chipset is not affected because only the CPU has support for vPro, but a PC with Core i7-7700 CPU and Q270 chipset is affected because both CPU and chipset have support for vPro.

And as far as I can see you'd still have to have AMT enabled in your BIOS.
At least for it to be exploited remotely. It can still be exploited locally.
