On: Intel platforms from 2008 onwards have a remotely exploitable security hole

Looking at the Intel link, they take you down a path to see if you have vPro. That's on some i5s and i7s. So they are defining "consumer" roughly as "purchased at best buy or similar". There are certainly desktops in people's homes that have vPro. Even some of the higher end NUCs have it.

When I've purchased VirtualBox hosts, I've deliberately avoided stuff with vPro.
